Move the Crowd Quotes

“So you’re on stage, ready to speak. You’ve prepared for so long for this moment. You’ve practiced. You know what you’re going to say. Then you step out on stage…and it feels like someone rebooted your brain.   You’re blank. You’ve got nothing, no idea what to say.   Sooner or later, stage fright comes for us all, but don’t worry! There are on-the-spot ways to not panic.   Since you can’t run away from the public speaking engagement, here are a few ways to calm your mind and bring you back to focusing on the task at hand.”
― L. David Harris, Move the Crowd: The Art of Influencing People Through Public Speaking
