He has two questions about overcome fear of public speaking.
Please see the questions and my reply to him as follows.
Q1. Could you advise normally it would take how long to overcome the fear of public speaking?

If one only watch others doing their speeches and does not actively participate, it will not be easy to improve his or her confidence. The key to improving a person’s presentation skills is to do speech projects regularly.
“Practice makes prefect!”
Q2. Will there be personal coaching for shy people?
A mentor will be assigned to guide each new member for the first few speeches.
“Mentors serve as role models, coaches and confidantes, offering knowledge, insight, perspective and wisdom to less experienced members…”
