How to become less afraid of public speaking
Sun Feb 01 2026
Fear of public speaking can hold you back in business, even when you know your work is solid. This episode shares practical tools to build confidence in speaking so you can communicate clearly on client calls, in meetings, on video, or on stage.
It covers how clarity creates confidence, how to choose one core message as your anchor, and why courage matters more than perfection when you’re finding your voice. You’ll also get simple ways to practise your message, reduce overthinking, and build stronger communication skills through repetition and a supportive community.
If you had one minute to speak to the world, what would you say?
That’s your starting point. Find the core message. Say it out loud. Repeat it until it feels like yours. Use it everywhere. Client calls. Sales conversations. Social captions. Videos. Team meetings.
Your voice has memory. The more you practise, the less you perform.
And that’s the goal. Not to become a different person. Just to become more of yourself, out loud.
Because your voice deserves to be heard and your business needs you to lead with it.
