May I have your attention, please? Webster\\u2019s dictionary defines public speaking as the act of speaking in front of an audience. And it\\u2019s sort of terrifying\\u2026and I\\u2019m sweating just standing here talking to you. Now my PowerPoint slides have malfunctioned and I\\u2019ve dropped my notes. And I\\u2019m picturing the audience naked which is making me feel very uncomfortable. If only I\\u2019d listened to that amazing podcast about public speaking and how to improve my own abilities before agreeing to speak in front of all the best behavior analysts. Save me, ABA Inside Track!
