Magic Minute Sorting Yourself Out First

By Laurie Smale

MAGIC MINUTE // I was once asked, “What does getting you right first actually mean? And how does it relate to public speaking?”

A valid question. Here’s what I said.

Getting You right first stems from my 40 years of helping people overcome their fear of public speaking by accepting where they’ve been, where they’re at, and where they’d like to be.

Without all this sorted out first, they worry about being judged. They worry about getting things wrong and the truth being found out about them. And they worry about peripheral things like what they look and sound like and their body language and “What do I do with my hands!”

I’ve experienced all these debilitating fears myself.

As an uneducated illiterate for a great chunk of my life, I had to shed all this faulty thinking and self-doubt before I could walk tall and look my listeners in the eye and speak as someone who’s earned the right to be there.

Be assured, my mind-opening book, How to take the Panic out of Public Speaking, will help you cast off the things that have been holding you back, too, so you can enjoy this wonderful freedom of expression just like I do.
