Are you struggling with the fear of public speaking even though you’re generally confident as an experienced and knowledgeable professional or entrepreneur? Does your imposter syndrome kick in when all eyes are on you? Do you find it difficult to speak with authority and assertiveness in meetings and presentations? If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place!

The reason I know the feeling so well is that I used to be terrified of public speaking myself. As a software engineer turned high-level manager turned entrepreneur, it took me years to finally overcome my public speaking fears.

And I can tell you right now, it had nothing to do with common advice like pushing through fear or practicing endlessly. Instead, I developed genuine speaking confidence rather than “pretend” confidence, and I started coaching others on how to do the same.

The Confidence Within podcast is a weekly run of bite-sized, digestible public speaking confidence tips, strategies, and expert-led career and business advice to help you outdo your long-sought professional goals and develop unshakeable confidence within.

    #037: Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking: Client Spotlight Interview with Arturo Villarreal

    #037: Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking: Client Spotlight Interview with Arturo Villarreal

    In this episode of the Confidence Within podcast, Arturo shares his journey of overcoming the fear of public speaking, and the transformation he underwent is truly inspiring.
    Arturo opens up about his struggles with public speaking, the anxiety he experienced in professional and personal settings, and the missed opportunities in his career due to his fear.
    But once he joined my Brilliant Speakers Academy coaching program, he found a way to ignite his inner confidence, learned to show up with genuine authority, and became the best version of himself.
    During the interview, Arturo recalls how he had tried various methods to tackle his fear before enrolling in the program, such as watching videos on YouTube, reading blogs, and attending Toastmasters meetings.
    However, it wasn't until he joined the program and focused on understanding the root of his fear and anxiety that he started to see significant changes.
    By shifting his mindset and embracing daily habits to reinforce his inner confidence, Arturo was able to make impactful changes in his approach to public speaking.
    What's truly remarkable about Arturo's story is how the program didn't just help him become a more confident speaker, but also inspired him to seek self-improvement in other areas of his life, leading to a holistic transformation beyond just public speaking.

    #035: The Worst Way to Start a Presentation

    #035: The Worst Way to Start a Presentation

    This episode is a must-listen for high-level professionals and entrepreneurs who want to conquer their fear of public speaking and learn to present with confidence and authority.
    Let's have a moment of honesty. Have you ever started a presentation with an apology for how bad you are at public speaking? How many times have you done that? I've been there and made the same mistake.
    One of the most significant challenges about starting with an apology is the fact that you are setting the stage for a mistake. Back in your audience's mind, they will be looking for the mistake you are about to make, and chances are, you might even not make it. The sad part is you make the presentation an uphill task because you'll need to work harder to avoid mistakes.
    Listen to this episode to learn better ways to start your presentation and build immediate rapport with your audience.
