Public speaking tips

I’ve got a few tips for you--and anyone--about speaking. I think I can sum it all up pretty well in one phrase: GET COMFORTABLE.

I hadn't seen this post by Dan Mall about speaking when it came out, but read it as it was shared on Mastodon today. This week I gave a talk that I was quite nervous for beforehand and quite happy with afterwards; from my experience I would second all the advice he gives here on public speaking.
