First, a warning.  I'm a prototype extrovert.  I scored a "perfect"
extrovert score on the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator's E-I scale.
Having said that and to say what I tell my more introverted clients...

Only speak if you have a passion for something.  If you have no passion for
your subject matter, shut up.  This is not to be rude to you, but your
audience gets energized not by what you say but by how you say it.  And the
"how" I'm talking about here is passion.  They've got to feel you feel what
you're talking about is something worth talking about.

The thing you've got to do is find something that you feel passionate about
that will ALSO help promote your business.  Find it, write a speech about
it, and go out and educate the world about it.  And when you're able to do
that, it doesn't matter if a billion people are watching you.  You will
speak right up and want each one of them to clearly hear you.  You're on a
mission.  You're in evangelical mode.  You're asking the people in the back
if they can clearly hear you because you want them to get the pearls of
wisdoms you're about to say as much as the people up front.  This is the key
to GREAT public speaking.  This will get you invites to speak to other
groups from people that heard you give your speech to another group.

Good luck!
