Speak (don't perform)

About this episode

In this episode, LISA DUBLIN discusses overcoming public speaking anxiety and reframing the experience as a conversation rather than a performance.

Speak (don't perform) In Episode 51 of Basement Chronicles, I’m talking about why we get nervous when we speak, how perfectionism steals our presence, and why trying to “shine” can actually make public speaking feel heavier than it needs to be. This episode is for the professional, entrepreneur, coach, leader, speaker, or purpose-driven woman who knows she has something valuable to say but still feels the nerves rise when it is time to speak. We get into: ↳ Why public speaking anxiety often comes from pressure, perfectionism, and misaligned motives ↳ How to reframe speaking as a conversation, not a performance ↳ Why your mission matters more than memorizing every word ↳ How to control what is actually controllable ↳ Why the “rule of three” can help you speak with more clarity, calm, and confidence Public speaking is not about proving yourself. It is about serving the room! Sign up for the Speak With Confidence Starter Course: https://www.lisamdublin.com/swcstarter   Hey, can you leave me a review?
