[Re-Release] Practicing Courage #27: Overcoming fear of public speaking
About this episode
Whether it’s presenting, facilitating, sharing in a large meeting, hosting, or some other form of being in the spotlight,
Speaking in public is one of people's greatest fears which may show up in various forms:
- Doubt
- Feeling anxious or nervous
- Over-focusing on oneself
The list goes on.
So today, we are re-releasing one of the most popular practices we've ever done, which addresses working with these fears by making a mindset shift from performance to curiosity.
If you have a moment where you will be speaking, interviewing, facilitating, coaching, hosting, or just generally interacting…and you find yourself getting nervous.
Give this a try, and see if it helps.
