Thank you Josie for reading and commenting. I know what you mean about old fears. I have tried a couple of tricks along the way and found at the end of the day there is no silver bullet. For me realising the fears are because I care and not because I can't has helped. I also find focusing on the audience or more realistically the one person who wants to hear what you have to say and not the ones who will be judgement or not listen helps. I have figured no matter how good you are, you will never please everyone or deliver a speech where every one listens and cares. Besides there is the old saying, practice and practice. I do this until it becomes as comfortable as a one to one conversation. But with all of this the fears remain and then it just becomes a choice on whether you want to go for it or let it hold you back.

That said I do know a good online coach through my old public speaking group I could connect you with, if interested.
