The fear of public speaking is common, rational and, with method, tractable. Treat it as a leadership challenge, not a private flaw. Reframe the arousal, steady the body, rehearse the essentials, expose yourself to the work, and build rooms where clarity can win. Your organisation needs your voice. So do your ideas.
