To overcome my anxiety of public speaking

Overcoming My Public Speaking Anxiety

Hi everyone! I’m a third-year CSE student, and I just finished giving a presentation that didn’t go as well as I had hoped. I’m feeling pretty embarrassed because I really struggle with public speaking and often experience anxiety when talking in front of my classmates. I’m quite shy, and I’d love some help to improve. Can anyone recommend some offline coaching or institutes in Indore that focus on public speaking? Thank you!
