“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the study of Anxiety Disorder (LSAD) in the department of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workers or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

Read between the lines

·        Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

·        Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.
·        Check the links to the source that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.
