For many people, speaking anxiety begins the moment they know they'll have to speak.
You see the meeting invitation
Someone says, "Let's go around the room..."
You're invited for an interview
It's your turn to introduce yourself
You hear, "Any questions?"
โก๏ธ What usually happens next?

It can get frustrating ๐ when you know you have to speak
- One thought quickly becomes ten
- Your mind starts imagining everything that could go wrong
- Your body reacts before you've even said a word
- Your words get stuck in your throat, refusing to come out
- You wish you didn't have to do it because escaping feels easier than staying
โจ I've met so many thoughtful, capable people with meaningful ideas to share
Yet when it's time to speak, their mind and body seem to work against them
No one should have to go through this alone
Over the next few days, I'll be sharing something that's been on my heart
In the meantime, what's your experience been?

One of the biggest challenges of speakers I see isn't a lack of preparation.
It's what happens to your attention once you begin speaking.
You want people to hear your message.
Instead, your inner critic keeps stealing your attention.
"Do I sound nervous?"
"Am I making sense?"
"What was I going to say next?"
When so much mental energy is spent monitoring yourself, it's difficult to stay present with the people you're trying to reach.
That's one reason speaking can still feel difficult, even after you've prepared.
Has this ever happened to you? I'd genuinely like to hear about your experience.

You expect all that preparation to make the next speaking opportunity feel easier.
Instead, the same nerves show up again.
So you prepare even more.
At some point, it's worth asking whether more preparation is really the answer.
I've found that many people aren't missing another speaking technique. They're missing an understanding of why this keeps happening.
Iโm going to show you the step that has helped so many of my clients stop guessing and begin moving toward speaking confidence.
If you'd like me to share more about this, let me know in the comments โญ

Heart pounding. Face getting hot. Voice shaking.
You try to calm your body so you can speak clearly.
Most people focus on stopping that reaction.
I've spent years wondering about something else.
Why does the reaction happen in the first place?

You can prepare until you know your points by heart
But the moment all eyes are on you, your brain can still shut down
I've heard this from many capable people over the years
They know what they want to say, and they've prepared well. Then the moment comes to speak, and the words just disappear
People assume they just need more practice. More preparation.
But they've already done that, and it still happens
So maybe it's time to ask:
Why does this keep happening? Why does my body react like this?
I've heard those questions for more than 30 years. They've led me to create something I've been wanting to share with you

That's the whole idea behind Speaking Circlesยฎ
A small group gathers in a room. Each person takes a turn speakingโnot to perform, not to impress, just to be received by people who are fully present with them, one person at a time
No script. No technique. No moment where you're managing how you come across
In the Circle, confident speaking comes from being met with an open gaze and full attention, exactly as you are
That's Relational Presence, and it's the heart of every Speaking Circleยฎ
Join us in person on June 17
