Fear was preventing my client from getting a promotion. When he spoke, his nerves rattled him so much that he mumbled his words and colleagues dismissed him. After four sessions, he not only transformed into a confident speaker, he got the promotion. I am not immune. I loved performing and one night on stage in a college production, I blanked and stood there frozen in silence under the spotlights. My own fear kept me behind the scenes as a costume designer and I found myself using clothing as a tool for storytelling to connect the characters with the audience. For years I gave into my anxiety and continued to hide. Until that one event when I was a marketing director and the keynote missed her flight. I wrote her script so naturally I was the one nominated to speak in her place. The pressure in that moment was immense and did not give me time to think. To my amazement, my presentation was met with kudos and applause. What happened? How did I achieve confidence and clarity on the spot? Honestly, I had no idea but I desperately wanted to replicate that experience. This is when I started my speaking journey. I read some books and joined a speaking club. Those things helped, but I didn't trust my confidence to pull things off despite having hosted dozens of webinars and presented at conferences. In April of 2020, I was invited to join a beta for virtual speaking games. The games did something incredible: they were fun to play when the world went on lockdown and gave me the skills to replicate the confidence and clarity that I experienced during that impromptu keynote I gave 20 years ago! As a speaking coach, using the games and core principles of improv became a game-changer in coaching thousands of clients in over 40 countries to articulate their story in ways they never thought of. Like a well-defined character, I use games as tools to help people, like you, become confident and captivating speakers anytime and anywhere. What’s holding you back from telling your story?
