    Litany Against The Fear of Public Speaking [E020] - Speak Up!

    Thank You To Our Partners, The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing and In-Bound In this episode - our host, Craig O’Neill and regular guest, fellow toastmaster, and friend of the show, Evan Wisner, dive into the root of the fear of public speaking.  Also known as glossophobia - it is a fear that is shared with 76% of all people. Evan speaks on this topic with the heart of a counselor and the mind of an emotional intelligence (EQ) expert.  It’s appropriate that this topic follows episode 019 - Reframing - as Evan highlights the similarities of anxiety versus excitement - and how an individual's perspective will influence their experience. Science Fiction fans who know Frank Herberts, Dune may be familiar with the Litany Against Fear.  “...I must not fear, fear is the mind killer…” Evan recites the full version of the litany from memory, and interprets its meaning in a simple way that will allow those who experience glossophobia to move through it, experience excitement instead of anxiety and share your truth. This is another enjoyable conversation between Evan and Craig with many takeaways.  Watch the YouTube VideoJoin Our Virtual Toastmasters: https://remarkableresults.biz/toastmasters Thank You To Our Partners, The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing and In-Bound: The Institute at WeAreTheInstitute.com.  "Stop stressing over your business, you deserve a good night's sleep.
