Professional Speakers Day
August 7 · Level 4 · #1366 of 2238
A day for people who earn their living by speaking: keynote speakers, conference hosts, trainers and motivational talkers. It salutes the skill of holding a whole room's attention.
How it is celebrated: speakers swap favourite talks and trade tips of the trade, event organisers say thank you, and beginners use the day as an excuse to try a short talk in front of a small audience.
The fear of public speaking even has its own name, glossophobia, and surveys regularly place it among the most common fears people report.
