About 15 years ago there was a study undertaken in America asking what people’s biggest fear was. Dying came second, public speaking came first.
There is an organisation for adults called Toastmasters International, it truly is international. If you lack confidence give it a try, they specialise in the terrified.
Find a way to teach your children to speak in public. If they can do that they can do anything.
It’s a wonderful way to build confidence, learn to order your thinking, and present ideas in a clear and concise fashion. The world will be your oyster.
If you want to be impressed watch this. My all time favourite with a stunningly well hidden point at the end.
The power of words to heal, create connections, and build a better world cannot be underestimated. Of course they must be spoken by the right heart.
I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, when I finally found methods that helped me to put it behind me. My struggles led to me exploring life through poetry, then plays, and over a 15 year period I made notes for a self help book which I published in 2015. Details on the book page. Although I am a psychic medium and loved the work, it didn’t feel right for me. It was an utter privilege, but my path was the exploration of what it means to be spirit in the real world and how we can make practical use of those abilities. Nowadays I write, blog, and teach soul-centred living, which is a gentle way of undoing past programming and connecting to your essential self, or soul. If you’re interested email me and we can chat. No pressure, it’s right for you or it’s not and you will know. The groups meet on line so no going out on cold, wet, winter’s evenings. On a personal note, I’m based in the UK. Married with five cats, no children, and four grandchildren, thanks to our inherited daughter, who has gifted us four beautiful little people that bring us such joy. Hope you enjoy the blogs. Deb xx
