In fact, the #1 cause of weak public speaking isn't that people don't know "how" to do it or haven't found the right combination of words and gestures. It's actually a vicious cycle made up of self-defeating beliefs and behaviours:

You believe you’re bad at public speaking >> you feel self-conscious >> you try to make yourself invisible by rushing, mumbling, and apologizing >> you catch yourself rushing, mumbling and apologizing >> you conclude that you’re bad at public speaking.

And so on, and so on.

Luckily, there’s a way out of Public Speaking Purgatory.

Admit it - you kind of wish you were a better speaker.

You’ve hear someone who blew you away with their poise and eloquence. You thought, “wow, I wish I could do that.” You dreamed about all the clients you could bring in by speaking to large groups, or the charity you could finally launch if you had the confidence to share your message.

But then you thought, “no. I could never do that. It’s way too scary. Too difficult. People like me don’t do things like that.”

Well, you’re right.
