It’s often said that the fear of public speaking is second only to the fear of death itself.If this is even close to true I find it incredibly sad - how many people are not speaking up, and not contributing their insights and knowledge to the world just because they’re scared something bad might happen?In this special episode of Speaking with Confidence with Cat Matson I’m sharing a snippet of my recent Speaking with Impact workshop series. In this particular workshop (which was part 2 of 3), I explore what we’re really scared of when we feel we’re scared of speaking in public, and how to manage it.Listen in to hear:What we REALLY fear when it comes to public speakingHow we can manage our nervesThe simple techniques for reframing that fearHow, by prioritising on connection, you can minimise that feeling of fearWhy your own personal stories can be your most powerful antidote to fearIf you’d like to watch workshops 1 & 3 of this series, simply register here and you’ll receive the replay link.If you’d like to be the first to know about my new upcoming workshops, sign up for my weekly newsletter here and get a copy of my How To Stop Rambling ebook while you’re at it.Got a question about this podcast?
