How To Overcome The Fear Of Public Speaking

As we recall in the book of Exodus, Moses told the Lord that he wasn't an eloquent speaker (Exodus 4:10), but we find in Exodus 32:9-13, that he didn't have any problem speaking to the Lord about preserving Israel from His wrath (see commentary here on Exodus 4:10-12).

If we have a fear of public speaking, the solution to overcoming that fear, is to provide ourselves with the proper preparation and practice of delivery, just as these three famous people did. Warren Buffet realized his need of being able to speak publicly, and this is what he did to improve his public speaking skills (see herehere, and here).

I too had the same experience as Mr. Buffett, by taking a Dale Carnegie course myself in my teen years (see here).

The Dale Carnegie course is a great course for anyone who not only wants to improve their ability to speak before a group, but provides them with the capability of better communicating with their fellowman.
