The biggest thing we're afraid of as human beings is speaking in front of others. It may seem irrational but it's far more common than you might think. For many of us, the feelings are so strong, we'll do anything to avoid it at all costs. But that's not always in our best interest.

The challenge of letting the fear win comes in the form of missed opportunities. We may rationalize it away, but the truth is speaking in front of others opens doors we couldn't open otherwise. That's especially true for content creators.

Dr. Charmaine Greogory, or "Dr. G" as she's often called, has become an expert at breaking though this powerful phobia. Early in her medical career she could barely speak to a small group, let alone larger audiences who may benefit from her expertise. But today she speaks on stages around the world helping others learn to overcome their own fear and achieve greater success. And in this episode she shares how you can do the same.
