I, too, am a former singer/actress very recently turned public speaker and presentation skills trainer. It's so validating to see someone well-established in this field say the same things I teach in my workshop. I especially appreciate points 1 and 2. For myself, the key to overcoming stage fright was to focus on giving instead of what I feared the audience thought of me. In fact, I just wrote a blog post about that! http://www.tipsontalking.com/2010/02/love-as-a-presentation-skill/ I have bookmarked your blog and will return often. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise! Sandra, this is an excellent article! I, too, am a former singer/actress very recently turned public speaker and presentation skills trainer.

I especially like #3 - prepare your answers. I know that when I interview people for a job, I'm really trying to find a way to accept them. If they can answer my questions with examples of how they've done similar work before, then I'm much more likely to consider them for the job! Sandra: good points all around.
