Amber Mac on Getting Over Your Fear of Public Speaking

“Some people are natural born speakers,” writes social media speaker Amber Mac, who, four years ago, was definitely not one of them. In this Fast Company article, she recounts how she got over her fear of public speaking, starting when a speakers bureau—that would be us!—approached her to give a talk. One hundred and twenty keynote speeches and a ton of rave reviews later, it’s safe to say she’s gotten over her stomach-twisting fears. She's now one of our most requested keynotes, and for good reason. Read her top three tips for giving killer presentations, here.

I was approached by an agency in 2007 to give a presentation about strategies for social media success. My initial reaction was no, definitely no. However, I recognized that it was a great opportunity to increase awareness about my new consulting business and, well, the pay wasn't too shabby. Eventually, I said yes. After signing a speaking contract, I counted down the days until I faced one of my biggest fears. Four years later, with more than 120 keynote speeches under my belt to audiences ranging from 30 to 3,000 people, I truly love delivering a presentation. Here are three things that helped me find my strength on stage.
