Limited by not being able to speak in public?

I’ve just com­pleted a 4 week course with John Daw­son from Speak­ing Infront and I’ve really been WOWed!

I was raised by 2 very pub­lic fig­ures. My Mom was a Speech and Drama teacher and was the Direc­tor for many a bril­liant school play. My Dad was on a city coun­cil­lor for many years which landed my par­ents as Mayor and May­oress 5 times. So I really should have no prob­lems speak­ing in pub­lic. But for some rea­son my flight/fight response really kicks in, my brain freezes up and I can’t recall what I want to deliver. I’m a pretty con­fi­dent per­son so it’s been quite puzzel­ing to me why and what my hang ups are around pub­lic speaking.

Thanks to John and his course I know now what the issues are. I won’t give all his secrets away here but if you’re in the same boat, I highly rec­om­mend going on his course. Amongst other things we learned what’s actu­ally going on in our heads when we get up there and that under­stand­ing cer­tainly set me free.

I’m really excited now for a talk I’m doing in Jan­u­ary when pre­vi­ously I would be dread­ing it! Thank John!
