"I do still get extremely nervous before speeches.……" — Marcus Buckingham
"I do still get extremely nervous before speeches. My biggest fear is that I'll be standing there in front of hundreds of people and be incapable of talking. I'm afraid that I'll make a complete fool of myself and be unable to go on."
