A couple of months ago, at the Martha Beck Coaches Summit, I had the pleasure of giving a short TED-style talk. I talked about how I used to be terrified to stand on stage, but ended up with a career that had me doing just that. I shared how to turn your fear into FUEL– it doesn’t go away, but you can use it to power a memorable, charismatic presence, whether you’re talking to your board members, clients, or a packed theater.

For those of you who don’t know, a TED-style talk is a talk that’s delivered without notes and without or with minimal presentation slides. They are personal about a topic the speaker is knowledgeable about and feels passionate about. Amongst other things, TED-style talks are simple and concise and take the listeners on a journey. They are so effective, but can be incredibly difficult to deliver if you struggle with public speaking. That’s why I am here to help.

This is a tiny version of a comprehensive class I gave called “Stage Fright To Spotlight: turn your fear into FUEL”.

I hope you found this useful. You might still want some further help with public speaking, in which case there are classes you can take to really boost your confidence.
