8. The Public Speaking Secret Nobody Tells You

Ever felt like your brain is working against you the moment you step up to speak?I am literally recording this from the car on the way home from a networking event where I've just delivered a talk. And yes, my heart was pounding, my hands were jittery, and that wanky voice in my head was having an absolute field day.Because here's the thing, I teach this stuff, and I still get nervous. And for a long time I thought that meant something was wrong with me. It doesn't. And in this episode I'm going to tell you exactly why.I'm talking about why public speaking scares the living daylights out of most people, why your brain is literally wired to keep you small and quiet, and the exact technique I used today mid talk, to shut that inner critic up and get into my flow.Because true confidence isn't about never feeling scared. It's about knowing what to do when that voice pipes up and tells you you're not good enough.If you've ever stood up to speak and felt like your brain was working against you, this one's for you.And if you want to start tackling those wanky thoughts for good, come and find out more about the Wanky Thoughts Club.
