370: Overcome Speaking Nerves & Anxiety: How to Develop Confidence on Stage [Level Up Your Speaking Series]

I’ve been there: Standing in front of an audience or being on live TV with my heart pounding, butterflies in my stomach, and my body a bundle of nerves.

I’ve also had speaking engagements and TV appearances where I’ve felt in the flow and completely comfortable and confident.

What made the difference? That’s what I’m going to share with you in this episode.

It’s normal to feel nervous before you speak. What you want to do is learn how to channel those nerves and reduce outsized anxiety.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • 3 reasons you get nervous before a speaking engagement

  • Why your body reacts the way it does

  • A story of my worst speaking experience ever and what I learned from it

  • What do in advance of your speaking engagement to lessen anxiety

  • What to do right before you go on stage to channel your normal nerves

This episode is part of our new podcast series called “Level Up Your Speaking.”
