Ready to speak with calm poise and confidence?
I’m going to show you how.
The fear of speaking is not a random emotion without cause.
Children are not afraid of attention. They thrive on it.
Delight in the Limelight is a journey of reclaiming the confident free self-expression that you dream of when you speak, whether that’s on stage or on camera or in the meeting room.
In these pages you’ll learn how to:
Reveal and heal those experiences and messages from the past that created the belief that it wasn’t safe to be seen and heard.
Restore safety by transforming the negative inner dialog so you are completely aligned to support yourself from the inside out and outside in.
Repattern your habits by swapping out the old ways of holding tension, using your voice and expressing yourself with new ways that are aligned with how you want to feel, be seen, and heard.
Whether you’ve never spoken up before or you’re a seasoned keynoter who manages your anxiety before every appearance, if you sense that you are meant to play on a bigger stage, by the end of this book you will have what you need to put yourself in the spotlight with delight.
You’ll see more possibilities for yourself than you could imagine before that will change your experience of the limelight, yourself, and your business for the better. You’ll lean into the opportunities to expand into your full potential that visibility provides. Speaking will become one of your happy places, one of the best things you get to do.
