DIY PR by Penny Haywood Calder

Does the thought of walking into a roomful of strangers make your hands clammy?
But making great connections in business is powerful publicity. Connecting with like-minded people brings great business results. People you like, tend to like others that are like you. So their contacts are more likely to like your approach.
Gain confidence at impromptu speaking at Toastmasters: a not-for-profit group of clubs that offer excellent public speaking training and impromptu speaking practice at ludicrously good value for money imo. For around £100 a year (clubs costs vary) for fortnightly 2-hour training and practice.
You can get faster results with 1-2-1 trainers, but how long will that last without practice?
There's a reason Toastmasters is the world's largest public speaking training organisation, with over 4 million people trained in most countries throughout the world. It works and I've seen it change people.
Find a club at toastmasters.org (scroll past the map which shows the UK HQ to find results for your area).
