In this short video, Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP, shares a practical method for overcoming a fear of public speaking. She recounts coaching a director who was initially terrible at presenting. By requiring the director to give a monthly presentation to the whole team, the director’s performance improved steadily: the first month was very poor, the second slightly better, the third below average, the sixth month good, and by the end of the year she became a fantastic speaker. Liu concludes that the only way to conquer speaking anxiety is to confront it directly and consistently practice speaking in front of an audience.

You have a fear of public speaking? Try this. I had a director and she was terrible at talking in front of people. And I said, you're so great at what you do, but you're terrible at telling people what you do and teaching people what you do. So what I had her do was every month she had to do a presentation in front of the entire team. The first month she sucked really bad. The second month sucked a little less. Third month she was a little below average. By the sixth month she was actually pretty good. And by the end of the year she was a fantastic speaker. The only way to get over your fear is to confront it head-on and just do it.
