Itook a public speaking class in college, and it changed my entire perspective on delivering content to a live audience. I hated the class.
The instructor scrutinized everything. What we did with our hands, our facial expressions, even how — or if — we laughed while on stage. I was only around 20 at the time, but I still knew there was more to being a public speaker than following some ridiculous rules the instructor laid out for us. Plus, he wasn’t even that good of an instructor, so why should I follow his lead?
