Opening your Presence with Greta Muller

How many of us can identify with the idea that “we are not enough” or that “we could have done something better,” or “people aren’t really interested in what we have to offer?”  There are so many times in a day, week, month, year, project, conversation, recap in our minds when we have the benefit of hindsight to help us learn and grow.  However, we often don’t think of these monkey mind activities as a chance to reflect and grow, but rather as a way to hold back, rescind, perhaps hide, or even move the other way.  It is at this point, when our value is not realized that the world has lost a valuable asset in our not participating. Our guest today, Greta Muller, is the author of a new book called “Opening Your Presence,” Muller conveys her 30 years of experience as a coach, actress, and consultant to help anyone — and she emphasizes anyone — speak compellingly with less fear and self-consciousness. “I want you to celebrate your successes, and objectively and kindly address and master anything that separates you from your most authentic presence,” Muller writes in Opening Your Presence. “You are wasting a valuable resource when you do not appreciate and use the most precious resource you have — you. Now, think about all the ways you have reasoned with yourself to not take the deep dive, to not share your gifts.  What has been your reaction?  Greta has seen many reactions. “I’ve had clients push back on this concept (something which I welcome wholeheartedly) with the following arguments: ‘I’m not that important.’ ‘The facts speak for themselves.’ ‘I hate being the center of attention. Don’t look at me.’ ‘I’m just the messenger.’ And my favorite: ‘Won’t my passion (energy, enthusiasm, etc.) just come through naturally? I don’t want to fake anything.’” She also gently reminds readers that people who can communicate effectively usually are the first to get promoted or make important and beneficial personal and professional connections.To order your book copy: https://www.amazon.ca/Opening-Your-Presence-Presenting-Others/dp/1945847603Learn more about Greta from her publishing company: https://emeraldlakebooks.com/greta-mullerTo Book Greta for a Coaching Session or for a Speaking Engagement: https://gretamuller.com/If you want more information on the Affirmation for the Body and BioField Deck please check out more details at: https://www.dancedebut.com/affirmationsFor information about the tea shared on the show, check out:https://cbteacompany.square.siteIf you're seeking help with managing anxiety or stress, you may find www.dancedebut.com useful.   Order your Top 8 Easy Stress Releasers from the pop up window.Support the showDr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.
