About the Paper
Effective public speaking requires technical skill and a clear understanding of the psychological and practical concepts that underpin communication. This Teaching Paper presents a comprehensive glossary of terms related to public speaking and anxiety management, including stage fright, public speaking anxiety, breathing techniques, visualization, and feedback. Each entry includes practical notes for application in training and practice. By providing a shared vocabulary, trainers, mentors, and non-profit professionals can design structured learning, reduce ambiguity, and foster confidence, clarity, and reflective growth in advocacy, leadership, and community engagement contexts.
