Make 2015 your year to shine on a public platform by attending PR News’ Feb. 24 webinar, "How to Conquer Your Public Speaking Anxiety." Our team of public speaking experts will share with you practical tips and exercises to help you manage your fear of appearing nervous while speaking before an audience, calm yourself in the moment when you’re delivering a speech or presentation, recognize when you’re unprepared in advance of a planned speech or public talk and—most important—learn from your mistakes.

At this Webinar, you'll learn how to:

Ask an event or meeting organizer the right questions before speaking in public
Know when you’ve prepared enough in advance of a scheduled talk
Determine what your audience already knows, before you speak
Rely on simple breathing exercises during jittery moments
Quickly recover when you’ve lost focus during a live speech or presentation
Use personal storytelling to build rapport—without getting too personal
Manage and respect time constraints
Prepare for the unknown, including difficult questions
Succeed as a public speaker despite inherent nervousness
Make positive use of positive and negative feedback

Excelling as a public speaker separates the superstars from the stars in the workplace. Captivating listeners at conferences, client meetings and internal meetings is a skill that can be taught, but unfortunately many people are so gripped by anxiety about public speaking that they are hesitant to learn how to do it right. In particular, professional communicators who seek to enhance their personal brand must compete against peers who perennially get invited to speak at conferences, lead client pitches, get interviewed on news programs and capture the ear of the CEO.
