It's not always about being on stage or in the spotlight. Many of my clients have worked with me because they hold back and don't speak up during work or team meetings. Have you ever had great ideas, not shared them, then someone comes along with half an idea and everyone goes wild with enthusiasm?

Did you know you don't have to be born an extrovert to love public speaking?
I'm an off-the-chart introvert, so know that you can overcome these fears because public speaking is a skill you can learn.
If now is the time for you to resolve your fears, join me for the newly updated Fearless Public Speaking Program.
I have shared some quick start tips and strategies from the Program below + a quick Huna Breathing video.
What's your purpose? Be clear about why you are speaking and what you want to impart to your audience. This helps you focus and remain on track when preparing your content.
Structure your content. This provides a sense of order to jumbled thoughts. During the Fearless Public Speaking Program, I show you how to map out your entire talk or presentation outline in just 5-minutes.
Rehearsal and practice. You will most likely bounce around the learning curve, however layering the learning creates an upward trajectory. Keep the layers short, and activate left and right brain to enhance your memory.
Speak from the heart and be authentic and real. Audiences can feel when you're putting on a facade. It's also stressful trying to keep it up if you're not being yourself.
Start with the End in Mind
People often focus on what they don't want, instead, decide how would you love to describe yourself as a speaker?
For example, relaxed, calm, confident, eloquent, at home on the stage, comfortable handling questions, able to easily connect with groups of all sizes.
Start the process of journaling that now to get the energetic ball rolling.
Identify & Resolve Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs often act as internal saboteurs, and mean you can externally look and act the part until you're asked to step up or go beyond your comfort zone.
They cause you to doubt yourself and wonder if you're good enough, worth listening to, or capable enough. It's part of the reason why 56% of job hunters avoided particular jobs they would have otherwise applied for.
What is your top limiting belief? We'll help you resolve it during the Program.
Focus on Your Audience
Put your focus on what you're there to deliver for the audience and remember your why.
Also, learn how to handle questions because they can take your presentation to the next level. During the Fearless Public Speaking Program, you will learn strategies for both keeping your audience engaged, and how to deal with difficult questions.
Is there a question you dread being asked on stage? We'll help you answer it.
Work Your Timeline
Past experiences or low expectations often also throw a big spanner in the works, so in addition to the public speaking strategies, we'll do a Bonus Huna Session, Access Consciousness Belief Change Session + some Timeline Therapy to clear old negative emotions, a taster Future Life Progression Session to start laying the foundation.
Start imagining your ideal future now.

Those who have attended my events in the past have most likely heard me talk about Huna and the Ha Breathing. The Ha Breath is a great way to calm the body and mind. This video is a short overview of the full body process.
I'll include a full Ha Breathing relaxation audio within the full Fearless Public Speaking Program.
When it's ready, I'll email you the sneak peek at the Course Creation Workbook to help kick-start the creative process if you're planning to design your own courses or workshops, so be sure to click the red button above.
