Views of the art of public speaking. Why do I have a fear of public speaking?

There is no secret formula

The head of TED, Chris Anderson, makes a very good point about public speaking. There is no secret formula that you must follow to succeed, and there are countless ways to deliver a great presentation. 

You don’t have to follow any of the tips we’ve provided if you don’t want to – these are just things you can consider if it’s useful to you. There are no rules about presenting (unless you’re at work perhaps), so do what feels right to you and feel free to get creative.
