SPEAKING IN PUBLIC
There is a long and very rich tradition
surrounding the art of public speaking.
Record of this tradition date back as far
as Ancient Greece and Rome, where
public speaking played a key role in
civic life.
Aristotle's Rhetoric, (composed
during the third century B.C.E.) still
provides the most important work on
the subject.

Do You Suffer From Glossophobia?
Ask yourself these questions:
Are you a bit nervous over the prospect of having to
deliver a presentation? Are you more than a bit
nervous?
Do you have an idea of what you want to say, but feel
clueless as to how to say it so that it will be meaningful to
others?
Do your presentations lack persuasive strength and fall
short of your goals?
Does the thought of having to give a presentation strike
fear in your heart?
Is stage fright taking over your life when you are faced
with having to speak publicly?

Do You Suffer From Glossophobia?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, ask
yourself if you are able to hold conversation, without
any of the glossophobic symptoms mentioned in the
above questions. If you are, for the most part, able to
hold conversation, then realize that you are also able to
speak in public. There are similarities as well as
differences between Public Speaking and
conversation.
On the following pages, we will explore these
similarities and differences.
