You're so right, perfection is a huge turn off - yet so many presenters beat themselves up because they don't measure up to their own idea of what it is. Audiences are people and they want to connect with other people - not robots or unattainable models of 'perfection'. Making connections is where the real public speaking gold lies, and that happens through honesty and integrity. Hi I love this post so much!

Perfection is not interesting at all. I want my audience and clients to believe that confidence and success in public speaking are attainable, and the best way to show it is by demonstrating that no one is perfect. Not even the pros.
