It is the first time Tommy is being asked to deliver a speech in front of colleagues for this new company he is working at. Tommy was so very nervous as he knew he wasn't a very good speaker and he tend to accelerate his speech he lacked confidence or started doubting what he is speaking.
In that speech, he knew he made a mess out of it as he speak so quickly and the audience can also see the sweat that was coming out from his forehead.
His supervisor then asked Tommy into his office for a quick sharing. Instead of chiding Tommy, his supervisor told Tommy to relax and asked what was in his mind when he was delivering his speech. After knowing what is going on, he shared with Tommy that there is nothing to be worried about, just do a simple sharing to friends, ignore that there are people of higher ranking than him as it will definitely add in more pressure onto him. So just relax and share like a casual chat then slow adapt to speaking in large crowds and he will do just fine.
Tommy used this method shared by his supervisor and slowly improved. Finally at the end of the year, he manage to do another sharing and this time he was no longer nervous.
