Did you know that public speaking anxiety is the number one fear that people have? For most people, we expect the butterflies and know we can work through them. For others, such as myself 5 years ago, we get panicked and the fear starts to take over.

Bayley Levy (@itsbayleysworld) invited me to speak on her podcast to discuss the origins of public speaking, why it’s so hard and what we can do to better manage our fears.

In this episode, we specifically cover…

  • My personal struggle with public speaking

  • Fearing the fear itself and what we can do about it

  • The importance of building the skill ‘detachment’ to managing this fear

  • Why positive visualization is so effective
