Ep. 50: Listen to this if Public Speaking Gives You Anxiety
My heart was beating so fast, I could almost hear it. I told myself, "Breathe. You got this."
I'm sure you've been in a position before where you had to do some sort of public speaking. Even presenting to a small group of people can be super anxiety-inducing.
I know it may seem like I have no fear when it comes to public speaking. I mean, I have this podcast, I have my online courses, I do coaching calls, I go live on Instagram, I put videos on YouTube. Those are all, in a way, forms of public speaking, right? So I should be a pro. It should be totally easy for me.
Wrong.
It's still hard! I still experience anxiety when it comes to things like giving talks at events or conferences. I still get anxiety going live. I mean, there's no way to edit those, you know? Whatever I say...that's it. So, yeah, it's still scary. But I still show up every day.
Not too long ago, I was giving a talk at the Las Vegas PMU Conference, and I was experiencing so much anxiety before my talk. But I managed to take some deep breathes, pull it together, and slay my talk.
When I came back home I thought, I have to share this with my audience. I just have to. The process I went through before that talk was groundbreaking. I don't think I've ever had such a positive experience when speaking.
So I want to share what was going through my mind right before my talk and hopefully, it's something that you can keep in mind that can help you the next time you start to experience anxiety when public speaking.
There aren't any highlights for this episode because it's a pretty short one. So just give it a listen, get inspired, and take some deep breaths.
