How do you have more confidence as a communicator, as a public speaker? Well, you build confidence the same way you do in anything else in life. If you have a big biology test tomorrow, you build confidence by taking a practice test tonight and seeing for your own eyes that you know the answer to questions. If you're giving a big presentation tomorrow, the key is to practice on video until you can see someone, meaning you give a speech the way you like. Then you can also test in front of other people. Test it in advance. Ask them, do you understand what I'm saying? How am I coming across what messages stick? When you like the evidence they're giving you, then you can go into the real presentation with confidence. And it's not silly. Just wish on a magic frog type of confidence. It's actually real confidence based on facts. You have evidence.
