The fear is real! A racing heart, sweaty palms, blank mind and it shows up right when you need your voice most. We take that surge of adrenaline and turn it into usable energy with practical tools anyone can apply before and during, whether you’re on stage, on Zoom, or standing up in a small meeting.
With Dr. Pollyn Chrysochou, a veteran teacher of English, literature, and drama-we break down the body’s stress signals and show how to reframe them as excitement. You explore how slow breathing and simple grounding change your state, why a genuine smile softens your tone and connects you to listeners, and how to set an ideal speaking pace so your ideas land.
We also focus on delivery choices that boost impact: pausing with intention, using natural gestures, and shifting attention from self to message. Discover why audiences forget most facts within a day but remember a story for years.
If you’ve ever wished you could keep your voice steady and your message clear when it counts, this conversation is a fit for you: breathe, prepare, pace, pause, and tell one human story that ties it all together. Enjoy the tools and let us know what changes for you.
