Great tips! My public speaking professor always said "All speakers have butterflies before speaking. The trick is getting those butterflies to fly in formation."

Great post! this topic is very near to my heart because from my background and all the friends and colleagues I know, 1 out of 50 will actually consider giving a talk the rest would rather wake up at 5am and take a cold shower... Actually I was one of those a few years ago so I know how's like coming from there but still doing it is totally worth it.
Yesssss - thank you for so much good information in one place. I've been gearing myself up to try and give a conference talk for longer than I'd like to admit. It's great to have such a thorough writeup <3
Nice article. Thanks for sharing this kind of information. Very helpful who are just beginning the way of tech blogging/speaking :)
Great to see those tips. I've never imagined all the process that lies behind public speaking. Thanks for the article!
Awesome post and very inspiring, thanks !
Wanted to add another great resource to track CFPs: cfpland.com
Love that you listen to Britney Spears and Beyonce before every talk :D
