Seminar Speaking Success, Tips - and What Lies Under a Rock:
Seminar Speaking Success, Tips - and What Lies Under a Rock:
Here we are in the beginning stages of discussing exactly how you can conquer stage fright and fear of public speaking. A critical piece to this is exposing what I call 'what lies under a rock' - it's the ugly truth about your true fears, what really scares and bothers you, the root cause of any and all anxiety about getting up in front of people and speaking.
As we do this, I'd like to pause and have you consider something: you know how Tony Robbins and others do their fire-walk thing, where people walk barefoot over hot coals? The idea is that people become empowered by doing something they thought they couldn't do, or that was impossible. The idea is that people then go on to their 'normal' life with that feeling.
Everyone I know who's done that says that the charged-up feeling fades come Monday morning. Sure, the fire-walk is a great source of inspiration, but Monday morning, the "skill" of walking on fire is not something that translates to any skill you can use in the real world, in the rest of your life. It's just a nice metaphor.
However, what if you could overcome fear of public speaking? What if you conquer stage fright? Doesn't that translate into skills you can use Monday morning - you bet it does!
Let's continue together tomorrow, see you then!
