Don't Worry About Worrying!

It doesn't matter who we are or what situation we are in we all worry! We ALL get anxious.

So should we worry about it? Does it mean there is something wrong with us?

For this previously live episode of the Speaking about Speaking podcast I'll be sharing my thoughts on the subject and the advice I give not just to clients, but to family and friends when they are facing a situation that causes them discomfort.

I talk about getting comfortable outside of your comfort zone, using status exercises so you don't have to 'fake it until you make it' and how to we ALL get nervous when we have to do anything for the first time.

Plus I share other peoples thoughts on how to deal with walking in to a room full of strangers and feeling comfortable with small talk.

What worries you? A social situation? A business network? Talking to work colleagues? Presenting to an audience?
