		<description>I&#039;m a big fan of Toastmasters and the Association of Speakers Clubs in the UK.
Both organisations offer great value membership of their Speakers Clubs where you can learn the black art of Public Speaking.

I&#039;d encourage anyone who has a Fear of Public Speaking to join a Speakers Club.

		<description>Perhaps not specifically about dentistry, but dental health, looking more attractive, running a small business, interacting with people, and hundreds of related sub topics may. You have experience in all of these.  The beauty of the internet is that the interested people will find you over time if you pay attention to SEO concepts and offer interesting material even if on an esoteric topic.</description>

		<description>Well, if the technique netted you &#039;Speaker of the Day&#039;, then obviously it works very well.

And like you said, using a subject line that suggests that a mistake has been made will generally get everyone&#039;s attention straight away.

Thanks for the great info!

		<description>There are three main goals to most speeches - Gain the audience&#039;s attention, keep them engrossed as you spin your story, and then get them to take action for whatever cause or on whatever plan of action your speech addresses. It&#039;s easy to see how you got their attention - great device you used, Earl!

Do they allow video cameras into your meetings? Wold love to see a video of the speech you&#039;re doing in two weeks...

		<description>We&#039;ve all been there, situations like going in front of the stage and making a speech to a faceless crowd! But what I just kept in my mind are these things:
Speaking in public is not inherently stressful.
Don’t fear the fear. Don’t fight it.
Don’t put pressure on yourself to succeed: 
- It’s not about you.
- You don’t have to be perfect or brilliant to succeed. 
- You are not the only one with this problem.
Be yourself.
Don’t over-prepare or prepare in too much detail, but do rehearse if possible.
Make sure you have a message to share. Focus on your audience and on the message itself during your presentation.
Don’t believe something bad will happen.
Don’t think your audience does not want you to succeed.
Get practice to see firsthand that all the points above are true.

Recently, I made an effort to put up a comprehensive diagram for this, please take a look!
