TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Controlling public speaking jitters: making the butterflies fly in formation JO - Journal of medical practice management A1 - Harvey, Hannah A1 - Baum, Neil SP - 215 EP - 217 VL - 30 IS - 3 N2 - Nearly every person who has been asked to give a speech or who has volunteered to make a presentation to a group of strangers develops fear and anxiety prior to the presentation. Most of us, the authors included, start hyperventilating, our pulse quickens, and we feel a little weak in the knees. We grab the lectern and our knuckles turn white as we hold on for dear life. This is a normal response that everyone experiences. However, this stress can be controlled and made manageable by understanding the stress response cycle and practicing a few techniques that calm those butterflies flying around in the pit of your stomach.
