If I let fear control me I would never have done some of the things I have been able to do. I downhill ski, I have swam with dolphins, I have gone on ziplines, snorkeled in the ocean where the water is over my head, and recently, I went in a helicopter. These are all things that have wonderful memories for me. Learning how to speak takes practice. We only get better by doing it.

I agree that the split between mind and body is a complete distraction and can make it difficult, if not impossible for some people, do deliver a speech effectively.

I had know idea that the physical symptoms that I felt when having to do any kind of public speaking were triggered from an actual physical reaction. Now that I know that, I can use the physical cues and hopefully be able to turn them into a more positve reaction. I received your link from Ter Scott at http://instantpublicspeaker.blogspot.com Wow!

I never really thought about the feelings you have of stage fright going to your head. I have been in front of an audience and have had these feelings. I agree that the split distracts us and makes it hard to deliver the message. It's almost feels like you know what you want to say but can't get it out.
