Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.

personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.

A. You aren't like anybody else

B. You already do lots of things well
