Do You Struggle With Public Speaking Anxiety?​

Do you naturally tend to avoid being 'the centre of attention'?
Does the prospect of public speaking bring on physical symptoms, like tension, nausea, a racing heart, sweating, dry mouth, or trembling voice?
Do you experience a fear of judgement, forgetting your lines, or a fear of failure?
