From Speaking Fear to Courage

Are you ready for next-level communication skills but unsure how to get past your speaking fear?

This article shares 3 suggestions for how to move from speaking fear to courage.  Prefer to watch my watch video? 

1. Commit to staying with fear. Managing your internal reaction to stress by staying in the moment and dealing with external pressure sets you up for a breakthrough. Why?

2. Staying with fear creates your roadmap. Fear is the biggest factor that teaches you about your state of reactivity. Different situations will spark varying levels and depths of your reactivity. Not only does understanding your fear guide you on how to become in control, but speaking discomfort becomes your guide to succeed in all future speaking situations where you need to . . . 

3. Focus on your purpose for speaking. Think about it, in comfortable speaking moments, you rarely forget what you plan to say. And, if you do, you are capable of improvising on the spot. In fearful moments, you completely lose your focus on speaking. You also lose access to flexible thinking about how to get back on track. Your mind goes blank, you can’t formulate words, and you freeze up in fear.

I hope you find these 3 suggestions to help you on the journey to go from fear to courage.
