Question

Nelson’s class is having a group discussion tomorrow. He is very nervous about speaking in front of the class, and would rather just listen to everyone else. His teacher, however, has made it very clear that everyone has to contribute. Which action is the best way for Nelson to be a good participant?

Answer 1

The best action is to just rehearse at home and speak in front of the class. I had to help lead a retreat yesterday and also give a talk. Let me tell you, though-I'm super shy and almost died because of nerves. But, when I got up in front of everyone, it was ok. I used my notes and gave the talk, and it wasn't super bad. Don't worry about what other people think about you speaking-just do it. You got this :)
