"I hate public speaking."
"I am going to mess up and embarrass myself."
"I have nothing important or special to say."
Over and over again, I hear these phrases from intelligent, funny, interesting, empathetic, and talented people - just like you.
It breaks my heart that they felt like their voice didn't matter or that out of fear, they wouldn't raise their hand in that meeting, apply for that job, or go on that first date.
Enough is enough. I will challenge you to rethink public speaking, discover your unique speaking style, and own it.
Your voice is the most powerful tool you will own.
The world needs your voice more than ever.
Whether on that first date, at the monthly staff meeting, or a protest, your voice matters to someone else.
When you break down the walls of public speaking anxiety, bust the myths of what society says public speakers need to look and sound like, and confidently celebrate your unique speaking style - you are changing our world.
Fears & Anxieties
Yep! We are going to talk about those! Everyone has them, but we discuss the mind tricks and strategies presenters, comedians, and motivational speakers use to overcome them.
If they can do it, so can you.
Finding Your Speaking Style
Yep! You have one! Whether you talk with your hands, are more soft-spoken, or hate using visual aides - it is all good because it is all you. And just like your fashion style, the "outfit" may need to be polished or changed a bit depending on the day and audience.
But don't worry - I got you!
Putting Together An Outfit
Yep! We are putting it to use! Using the speaking style method, we take the metaphor of putting together an outfit and put together a speech. There will come a time when you will have to present, make a speech, or at least get through that job interview.
You will get the tools and tips to make it happen - but in your style.
