In this episode, I interview public speaking expert Megan Hamilton, who shares an easy strategy you can use to stay calm before and during a presentation. Fear of public speaking is incredibly common, and at the same time, presenting is one of the most effective ways of connecting with people in your community. Megan shares some helpful thoughts on how we can prepare for presentations beyond focusing exclusively on the content. For even more help, join us for a live, online workshop with Megan at the end of January. Details below.
