Does this sound familiar? You are at the podium, speechless. No word is coming out; worse, nonsensical words are coming out that even you, the speaker, do not understand. The audience gives you the blank stare. The awkward silence is unbearable. You feel terrible and want to hide. Chances are you have been there. We all have. Public speaking evokes fear; but like all other skills, it can be learned and developed, and the fear subdued. At Toastmasters, public speaking is all we do. This is GGU To …
