I was in a ToastMasters club last year. It was a great experience. Although I did not go there to conquer my fear of public speaking (I took care of that in 1996), I saw plenty of people greatly improve their presentation skills and get rid of their fears.
I have conquered my fear of public speaking by improving one thing ... my self-confidence. Knowing my material, knowing I can do it, knowing I know more about what I am presenting than most people in the audience.
