Summary
May I have your attention, please? Webster's dictionary defines public speaking as the act of speaking in front of an audience. And it's sort of terrifying…and I'm sweating just standing here talking to you. Now my PowerPoint slides have malfunctioned and I've dropped my notes. And I'm picturing the audience naked which is making me feel very uncomfortable. If only I'd listened to that amazing podcast about public speaking and how to improve my own abilities before agreeing to speak in front of all the best behavior analysts. Save me, ABA Inside Track!
