Public Speaking

Do you lack the confidence to speak in public? Do you lose your voice when faced with presenting?

Don’t let your fear rob you of speaking opportunities.

Isn’t it time you found the confidence to ensure your voice is heard?

How to overcome your fear of public speaking?

Most of us have anxiety when we think about getting on stage to talk in front of a large audience, or even when it comes to presenting to our colleagues. Aside from the physical symptoms associated with this fear (sweating palms, dry mouth, heart palpitations) our own internal mantras often work against us.

While some therapists and mentors might teach you some techniques for better public speaking, these don’t address the internal barriers that hold us back. Medication and a few deep breaths might slow your heart rate, but when your fear holds you back from seeking public speaking opportunities these band aids do little to help manage and overcome your fear of public speaking.

Roger Southam made me see that I was making a generalised problem from a small specific issue. Making me laugh at it was brilliant. Identification of resources was excellent and to the point.
