6 years ago I started my journey of overcoming my fear of speaking.
Only people with real shyness, social anxiety and a crippling fear of public speaking will truly understand.
Every opportunity I got prior to that, I ran a mile.
At one point, albeit long ago, it was so bad I just could not make routine appointment calls to the doctors etc.
But not being able to speak is a prison, espesh in a corporate career or when you’re building your own projects
When I left the legal world, my first attempts were to make money WITHOUT having to speak to anyone.
It just doesn’t work. Or it didn’t for me.
And so being able to speak confidently became a priority.
Started with:
- writing content and blogs
- before moving into making videos
- followed by podcasting
- to now speaking at events
When I made that video in 2019, I was just about starting the video journey. Those that were there saw it from day one.
6 years is a long time to get in front of 100+ people, but better late than never. 1000+ is the next step up.
However…I see so many trying to build things in the shadows because they won’t confront their fear of speaking.
Take it from me, it’s an even bigger uphill battle. It will in fact be easier to just start yapping away.
The Minotaur Video Exemplar programme was designed specifically to support you get confident speaking, to then build a brand and make the impact you know you can.
Hard to do that if you continue to hide away.
DM for more details on how you can become a confident speaking in public machine.
