7 Ways to Combat Your Fear of Public Speaking
6. Practice Makes Perfect
It sounds cliché, but the old saying of “practice makes perfect” is especially true when it comes to speaking in public. Before speaking in front of a large audience, start by practicing in front of a mirror. Once the initially “silliness” is overcome, try practicing in front of your best friend or a small group of close friends and family. Having a friendly crowd who is supportive of the speaker will definitely help in boosting self confidence.
