The fear of speaking in front of others The fear of public speaking is common even in a person’s first language, and in a foreign language, it can feel even scarier. This fear can come when you’re doing a presentation, but it’s also common during conversations, especially in groups. Speaking is different to other skills because it’s related to how others see you – you’re presenting your personality. Try these tips Either jump out of your comfort zone and speak in front of people as much as possible, or try removing the face-to-face aspect of speaking at first: * Talk to yourself. * Communicate with someone via voice message. * Try a phone call. * Go for a walk with someone and have a conversation side-by-side. 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 #tips #sirjimmy #teamjimmy
