I hate speaking in front of a crowd, so this book was of interest to me. I often get nervous, lose my train of thought, and panic when I must speak to a group of people. The author explained what’s happening when anxiety shows up and how to manage it in the moment. I tried a few breathing and preparation techniques before a recent presentation, and I noticed I felt steadier and less rushed while presenting. The sections about using technology wisely were also helpful, since I tend to rely too much on slides as a crutch. This felt practical and realistic. If speaking up in meetings or giving presentations makes you uneasy, this book gives you tools you can use right away.
