Public Speaking
I have seen many a confident person reduced to a quivering wreck when having to stand in front of a audience of people and give a speech. It is quite remarkable the effect that this activity can have on a person.
For others the opposite is true. Some people become über confident revelling in the challenge of conveying their point in a concise, informative and witty manner.
The classic advice given to a person about to deliver an oratory in front of an audience is to imagine that said audience naked. I can think of many situations where this would not be good advice at all, I won't outline them here, I'll let you compile your own personal list. Just to say in most situations I might find speaking to room of naked people slightly off putting, especially if the room was cold!
I'm writing this entry tonight in the fifteen minute before I have to stand and present to a mixed audience. I have considered what I want to say but will stand with no notes, I have a brief presentation, as I feel my delivery will be more natural if I ad lib my way through it. I am confident that I will get my point across.
My advice, just be yourself, it seems to work for Boris.
