Course description
The anxiety most often is associated with public speaking can be translated into thoughts like these:
“I won’t be convincing, they won’t understand, they’ll be bored, they’ll think that I’m not a good communicator, I’ll blush during the interview, my voice will tremble, I’ll have nervous body language, they’ll know that I’m anxious, they’ll think poorly of me, and their negative observations will affect my career..”
From an article by Silvia Sperandio – May 14, 2014 – Il Sole 24 Ore
