In this episode of Public Speaking Tips and Tales with Speaking Coach Kelly, I share a personal and somewhat embarrassing story about experiencing stage fright while evaluating a high-level professional speaker at a Toastmasters meeting.
Despite being a seasoned speaker and coach, I found myself unexpectedly nervous and shaking. This episode dives deep into the causes of stage fright, how our minds and bodies react to imagined failures, and what I wish I had done differently in that nerve-wracking moment.
Join me as I explore the psychological and physiological aspects of stage fright and offer insights into how to manage it effectively. If you’ve ever faced similar challenges or have a great stage fright story, I’d love to hear from you in the comments!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
