Abstract
There is no singular method of immediately and permanently dispensing with anxiety about public communication. The pedagogical strategies described in this thought piece, however, when used in a receptive environment and combined with the essentials of public speaking training can, given time, help students appreciate the thrill of public speaking. In my experience, individual attention outside of class and constructive group criticism during class do much to ease highly apprehensive students. This narrative contains my reflections on working with just such a group.
