“I want to see you be brave.” ~ Sara Barreillis

It’s not always easy.

To meet a deadline.

To be your best self.

To take a risk.

To be brave.

To face your fears.

Say the words “public speaking” and “fear” is sure to follow. When I speak with entrepreneurs fear and doubt always pop up – even with speakers who give presentations regularly. Everyone has their shaky moments.

“I’m scared of audiences, one show in Amsterdam I was so nervous I escaped out the fire exit. I’ve thrown up a couple of times…” ~ Adele

Even performers like Adele.

So, what if you made a mind shift? What if you shifted your thoughts from fear to…

Owning your expertise. You are the expert. You have years of experience and plenty of success stories to back it up.

Speaking your truth. Speak about our passion – that thing that lights you up. Enthusiasm is infectious. And when you speak about something you love, fear fades away.

Realizing the audience wants you to succeed. They’re actually rooting for you! They want to learn from you because you have a skill and knowledge that they may not.

What if you shifted from fear to faith?

What would be possible?
