Managing Nervousness as a Public Speaker provides students with the essential knowledge and tools required to not only understand their own nervousness, but to leverage it to improve their public speaking skills. The book begins by defining nervousness and anxiety, then exploring how speakers can effectively leverage anxiety to their benefit. Later chapters discuss the biology and psychology behind nervousness, as well as their various triggers and methods for overcoming them. The book also demonstrates how meditation, deep breathing, and mindfulness can help public speakers build confidence and calm nerves. Managing Nervousness as a Public Speaker is ideal for courses in public speaking, but as the material within the book is cross-disciplinary in nature, the text could be used within any course where public speaking is essential. The book can also be used by working professionals to further develop their public speaking skills.
