How to Overcome the Fear of Public Speaking (Forever!)

Most people think the fear of public speaking means you're not cut out for it. But that couldn't be further from the truth. In this episode of The Expert Edge, Colin gets real about one of the most universal fears out there - speaking in front of people. Whether it's a live audience, a Zoom room, or a podcast mic, that nervous energy you feel before sharing your message isn't a flaw - it's a signal. Colin shares personal stories (including a shaky Bible reading in front of his classmates at 13) and practical strategies for turning fear into focus so you can show up with confidence and presence every time you speak. You'll learn: Why focusing on service dissolves fear - and how shifting attention from yourself to your audience instantly builds confidence. How to be truly present - the simple grounding practice Colin uses to stay calm and connected on stage. The one question that rewires your brain mid-panic - transforming anxiety into energy that drives performance instead of derailing it. If you've ever dreamed of commanding a stage or delivering your message with clarity and conviction - but your nerves keep hijacking the mic - this episode will help you finally take your power back.
