Overcoming our Deepest Fear ... Public Speaking

What is it about the sensation of having all eyes on us that intimidates so many?  Are others judging us, or are we self-consciously judging ourselves?  It's definitely some of both.  Yet the truth is either we take command of the audience or the audience takes command of us!    Being an engaging speaker is not difficult.  It just includes incorporating a few key elements into our presentations.  Our guest Allison Shapira, will advise what these elements are, and how to present successfully.    Allison Shapira currently teaches in executive leadership programs at Georgetown University in Washington, DC.  She also teaches public speaking - both privately and through group workshops - for international organizations, federal agencies and private companies.  To find out more about Allison, check out her website.
