1. Many people get very nervous when they have to talk to a large group of people.

ReplyDelete1.I think that the woman who fainted on stage was definitely not the only person who would do that. I think many people get so freaked out that they can'y handle the pressure, and they just faint.
ReplyDelete2. I also agree that if you aren't comfortable speaking in front of many people that you should write out a speech, and bring it up with you.
3. I think it was interesting that Louw made people go in a room alone, and then add all the other people after they got more comfortable. I really think that it is weird to touch the walls, but if it helps that is all that matters I guess.
