Anyway, all positions in the business world do not require you to speak in front of large groups. Yes, you’ll have to speak up, but it will more than likely be a face-to-face interaction with one or a few people. The only time you’ll need to speak in front of a large group is if you are in some type of management or upper-level position, but it still isn’t always necessary even then.

My advice to you: practice, practice, practice. Enroll in courses that require you to make presentations in class. That is what I am doing. I am still very nervous, but it’s getting better. I’m also using additional tactics at my internship. I’ve had to get up and talk to the employees. I was nervous, but I still did it a total of 4 times. I will also lead a few new employee orientation sessions within the next few weeks. I’m doing whatever it takes to get over this nervousness and you should too!

Good luck!!!

This is a learned skill.

It is also a skill that is not often needed in business.

Relax and don’t worry.
