Nausheen Chen

I combined all of those things and then realized that public speaking was the one thing that was tying all these diverse experiences together.

No, I had no idea. I was a filmmaker at the time. I was directing commercials for these big brands in China. And on the outside, I was fairly successful. I was getting big projects. People were getting to know me. I had been doing it for about seven years. And it was a part of my identity. I would say, hi, I'm Nausheen. I'm a filmmaker. It just came out like that.

but I never felt connected to it. I never felt like I was a filmmaker. I felt like an imposter. Even though I was formally trained in filmmaking and I had the skillset supposedly, but I always felt like I was playing a role and not really doing something that connected with me on a deeper level. So I had no idea.

It was actually a question that my husband asked me that got me started on this path of coaching people to be better speakers. Because he said, Nausheen, you have been speaking on stages for as long as I've known you. And you do it and you love it and you're good at it. So why aren't you looking at it as... something that you can build a living off of? Why have you just ruled it out?

And why are you doing it as just a hobby for life? So that really made me think. And I had no idea that I could actually just take something that I absolutely love doing and make a career out of it and teach it to others and become an entrepreneur in that way. It was all very new to me.

For me, it was learning to listen to myself over the noise of other people's opinions of what I should be doing with my life. And that was very difficult for me because I have always been a people pleaser and I have always struggled with giving weight to my own opinions versus the opinions of others. I hold people that are dear to me in very high regard. So I often seek their advice.

And so I would ask people, well, I don't really feel like I'm a filmmaker. And they would say, what are you talking about? It's great. You're doing well. You're getting all these projects. You've been doing this for so long. You have expertise in this. You have a network. Why would you want to give it up? And that stopped me for the longest time from listening to my own voice.
