Speak up.

Over the weekend I was at Biggin Hill airshow and chatting to the border force team that were there. One was saying he finds job interviews terrifying and because of this never succeeds in gaining promotion.

I looked at him and said 'that was me'. Ten years and I never once got promotion even though I could do the job inside out. Why? Because, like raising my hand at school, I was fearful of saying the wrong thing and looking stupid.

Fast forward ten, fifteen years. Not only do I talk to people easily that I consider my peers, I’ve taken a leap I would never have thought I’d do. I can honestly say I love speaking on stage in front of a large audience.

So what changed? I learnt to become me in front of that audience, whether it be one, two or a hundred or more. I laugh, I joke, I make mistakes and I interact and if I forget a word or two the audience will often help.

How many times have you found yourself thinking ‘I wish I had answered that question’ or ‘why didn’t I volunteer to do …’

It’s time to step out of your own shadow. I have helped individuals from every level to overcome this, the office worker, the school headmaster, even company directors.

No more sitting at the back of the class, It's time you took your turn at the front, to shine.
Pick up the phone and give me a call today. The call to your future where there is an abundance of opportunities, when you stand up to be heard.
