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.
