05: Calling BS on Fear of Speaking

Fear, the age-old nemesis of speakers, often prowls in the background, waiting to strike at the very heart of our confidence. Conventional wisdom suggests that this is fear’s sinister grip, paralysing us, but what if we flipped the script? What if I told you that fear isn’t the enemy?

In this exciting episode of Speaker Driven Business, we discover the power of certainty and how it’s reshaping the way speakers perceive and conquer their fears.

Fear isn’t an instruction to retreat; it’s an indicator, a signal from your body that you’re on the brink of something significant. When harnessed correctly, fear becomes a compass pointing you toward your full potential. Embrace it, study its cues, and use it as the fuel to ignite your passion for sharing your wisdom and genius with the world.
