Why nervousness is the major obstacle for public speaking and how to get rid of it?

Answer 1

It is very natural to be nervous speaking in front of a group of people.

I had a terrible fear of public speaking and I took a Speech class in college. It taught me techniques for dealing with the whole nervousness you have in front of an audience (like looking at the back of the room and curling your toes). Also, once I got into business, I had to conduct meetings. Being prepared and knowing your subject matter will help immensely.
