Rahul Sidhu - Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking

Rahul Sidhu narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Rahul used to dread public speaking more than data analysis or academic scrutiny. A few years on, he gives talks to full rooms, chairs sessions at international conferences in Toronto and Washington DC, and speaks as a Global Ambassador for the Alzheimer's Association. In this blog he shares the seven things that got him there, from accepting that nobody starts good at this, to building slides that help rather than hinder, to speaking with energy instead of just slowing down. His point throughout is that strong speaking is a trainable skill, not a talent you either have or you don't. The nerves never fully went away. He just learnt to work with them, and so can you.
