About Me -
My name is Stefani. I am a work at home mom of 4 kids! I own a network of websites and blogs dedicated to helping moms make and save money at home. I also enjoy doing product reviews of family friendly products and websites.
I don't know why, but I have always been afraid to speak in front of large groups, classes, etc. I guess it is what you can call social anxiety. I don't mind speaking in front of friends, but if I am in a room full of strangers, the thought of getting in front of them speaking terrifies me.
I guess you can say that I have never wanted to be a celebrity speaker. While being rich and having everything I could ever want sounds oh so good, I could never live a celebrity life. I love being just me! I admire those motivational speakers who can get in front of hundreds if not thousands of people and give them advice. I would have loved just to be able to do an oral book report without being afraid back in high school.
The reason why I am talking about this is because I went to a presentation tonight for a home business opportunity. While the business sounded like something I would love to be involved with, you have to promote the business via presentations to people at their homes, etc.
Anyone care to share their speaking tips?

Right..
Work from home
I did try Toastmasters for a while, it helped with my fear, but gave me too much extra work to do! LOL. I suggest listening to a guided meditation before you speak (in your parked car) so you can appear confident. Good luck and I am sure you will rock it!
I used to have to make large presentations to high dollar suits in my previous life as a Network/Project Manager for a very large corp.
They used to intimidate me, but I'd put my 'tude on and was always able to get through it without stammering. :)
I'm sorry it's something you're not comfortable doing. I don't know how I got past it, probably because I only suffered nerves and not actual fear.
