All normal people have fear when faced with tasks that really matter.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          2. Fear is useful and desirable when understood, but wasteful and undesirable when misunderstood.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          3. All physical fear reactions have logical explanations.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          4.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          1. Prepare thoroughly—Practice out loud, use a mirror, audio tape or video tape, practice with friends and get their reactions, time it, make workable note cards, practice with note cards, etc.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          2. Take a couple of deep breaths and, if possible, stretch and work off energy before you speak. Speak early in the period if you are generally nervous.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          3.
