…Then I would have vomited.
Right on the floor.
Public speaking TERRIFIED the absolute %^&* out of me!
The thought of speaking to an audience made my stomach churn to the point of making me sick.

From a fumbling, nervous wreck to a confident speaker, I now want to share with you the greatest lessons I’ve learnt.
