People’s Biggest Fear

3) DEATH

2) SNAKES

1) PUBLIC SPEAKING

About 10 percent of the population loves Public Speaking.

Another 10 percent are genuinely terrified.

The rest of us- roughly 80 percent get butterflies, get anxious, don’t sleep in the night before- but we know we r going to live through it. The fun part is just lost in that case.

Why FEAR???

You may be judged by People, and JUDGED BADLY.

You may feel like a fool. You might make mistakes and lose

your way. You might be extremely humiliated. They wont get what you are trying

to say. They wont like you.

2. Speeches that persuade

Speeches that persuade are designed to convince and the goal is to influence the audience’s beliefs or attitudes. This can be accomplished by using your own credibility to strengthen your argument.

3. Speeches that entertain
