Lewis Howes

You're going to have a lot of content.

I knew all the speakers he had coming in.

He had massive celebrities and world-class athletes.

I knew who were going to come up after me.

I was the first one with three days.

And I said, my goal is for you, you're going to have tons of information that's going to be overwhelming the next few days.

I just want you to come away with one thing from today that you'll remember that will help you in your personal and professional life get from where you are to where you want to be.

And I want to create that space for you.

And that's what I said.

And by doing that, by showing up using my voice, by showing up connecting with people and being present with them and speaking directly to them, not around them,

I felt the impact and they communicated that impact.

And this takes years of practice.

You know, I used to be terrible at looking people in the eyes.

I used to be terrible at speaking in public.

I used to be terrible at leading workshops.

I used to be deathly afraid of doing any of this.

Because I was a people pleaser and I was worried what people thought about me.

And I've trained myself to overcome that fear by doing the action over and over.

I went to Toastmasters and studied public speaking every week for a year.

Then I was getting paid to do it for years.
