Public speaking has earned it’s place in the Fear Hall of Fame over and over again… each day with each person who does their own version of freaking out over stepping in front of the room to present, perform, interview or just have all eyes on them. I hear this from clients all the time.
It sounds like;

- -“I sweat-stutter-stumble-etc. so I just avoid it.”
- -“I never know what to say.”

Working with a fun client like Dr. G, there are opportunities everywhere!

I had the pleasure of speaking with some marketing classes this week about how to best bring out their star qualities. When someone who was very quiet raised her hand for a question, she apologized profusely for asking even before she asked the question. I had to seize the moment and get her out of her comfort zone of “I don’t deserve to be heard.” This was an on-the-spot coaching opportunity, and with her permission, I brought her to the front of the room.
Her nervous smile revealed what we all knew,

As an Executive Coach, I work frequently with Center for Creative Leadership at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Having just returned from a conference with 12 speakers, five of which are world reknown, it gave me the chance to test my theory.
I had my usual backstage pass taking care of the speakers before they went on, and the opportunity to watch the faces of the audience as they experienced each speaker.

What does it take for a Nurse Practitioner to drop everything to provide healthcare for those in need in Honduras? Just a simple ask. Nurse Barb couldn’t have been happier with a backpack, an affiliation with a local organization, a guide, and patients to care for. Honduras highlight? Caring for the nuns who haven’t been seen by a healthcare practitioner in a decade. Next time, she says that we get to go along!
