I love this! I am doing a presentation on Presenting for my company. It’s difficult to put into words what exactly helps make a presenter successful. This is great. I’m going to make sure everyone has your website.

Hmmmmmm. I tried something out of the book - Overachievement: The New Science of Working Less to Accomplish More. I like science.

I tried just going for it. I wanted it. It was my moment to shine. And 250 people loved my little speech.

I think that to really stand out you gotta want it and allow the fear to propel you instead of fighting it. Lots of these suggestions you have don't fight the fear. Use the fear and you will shine.

As someone who has considered being a ‘motivational speaker’ what has become apparent to me is that you have to have a story to tell to motivate.
I for one am not motivated by miners that escaped a tunnel collapse or people that escaped an avalance at Thredbo. I think people confuse ‘courage’ with doing everything you can to stay alive. Thanks for your tips on public speaking and getting uncomfortable, I’m sure you weren’t as nervous as you actually make out. Great articles!

“Click on the comments thingy, don’t be a chicken and let us know where you’re from.”

Alright, Craig. I’ll try not to take that personally. *grin*

I sent the email twice, if you did not get it, then well…I’m outta ideas. I am not sure why you aren’t getting them.
