Conquering My Fear of Speaking in Public; New York Times, 10/1/11

Dominique Molina, New York Times; Conquering My Fear of Speaking in Public:

"I talked to my father about how the magic trick had bombed, and he suggested that I have him critique me. I gave the same speech to him, without the magic trick. He said that I seemed more nervous when I relied on my notes and that I should speak more from my heart. I’ve done that ever since, and it has helped.

To gain more experience, I still look for speaking opportunities. I speak before various associations, and I started appearing on television news and talk shows a little more than a year ago."
