Search Results: will it ever work

Glossophobia - the fear of public speaking - is a common condition, affecting 30-70% of people globally. Those with glossophobia may experience various symptoms, both physical or more psychological. We're you the kid who hated presentations & class discussions?

Most of us WILL have to speak in public under very different scenarios and goals. How did you do? What needs improvement? Did you write it out word for word or just main ideas? We're there slides or aides? Did the audience participate? Questions after? Solo or as a panel? How did you prepare? How was it received?

I guess I'm so very fortunate as a teacher that I just don't even notice anymore nor care what the topic or audience is, it's just so routine now but THAT was not always the case. My practicum was initially terrifying!

Thought this take on Harris's loss was pretty accurate.

"I’m sorry but misogyny is a cop-out answer here. Kamala made a lot of mistakes during her campaign, and the Democratic Party really needs to start taking accountability if they ever want to win again.

First biggest issue: not having a proper democratic primary. Kamala was wildly unpopular in the 2020 primary, to select her as Biden’s VP wasn’t the best idea, and then certainly wasn’t the best candidate to represent the Democratic Party in this election.

Double-downing on Biden’s presidency, which people are already upset about, was a mistake. It made people think she wasn’t going to fix anything.

Not taking a firm stance on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza alienated a lot of voters who are pro-Palestine.

Operating her entire campaign on “I’m not Trump and he will destroy us” instead of running her campaign on hope for the future was a mistake.

Not focusing her campaign on economic policy when millions of Americans are struggling financially was a mistake.

Then a clown like Trump swoops in and starts saying things like “I will make life better for you. I will make America great again” and then suddenly that starts to sound more appealing. Focusing on attacking the other side instead of making your side sound better just doesn’t work. You have to inspire people to vote for you, not tell them why you shouldn’t vote for the other side.

Obama was excellent at inspiring voters to vote for him. He gave them hope of a better future. Kamala should’ve taken notes."
