• Get clear on your intention, the “why” that will become a powerful source of courage for this process.
• Understand how your brain stores fears and how to release them.
• Expand your capacity to “sit” with your feelings and move through them. (This practice is also great for stress relief!)
• Begin learning how to transform limiting beliefs into positive energy. 
• Describe your unique qualities and talents in ways that empower you and motivate others to want to work with you.
• Develop an introduction or “elevator speech” that focuses on how you meet the needs of your clients, and forms the foundation for comfortable, effective conversations with prospects.
• Become more comfortable delivering reports and leading team meetings.
• Taste the joy of beginning to feel more comfortable and confident when showing up and speaking out.

So what qualifies me to make a difference for you?

 Now I'm going to tell you a secret. I've NEVER been afraid of speaking in public. I've always loved it. So how can I possibly help anyone who is afraid of it? Because I've been afraid of almost everything else in my life since I was a little girl growing up in a chaotic, alcoholic household.

It’s taken me years to learn about the power of FEAR, especially buried, frozen fear, to stop me cold, no matter how dedicated or talented I was. It was that awareness that has deeply stirred my passion to work with women like you who want to overcome your fear of speaking in public.

It’s not that I wasn’t talented, or that my products and programs weren’t any good. I had after all won an award for my How to Fill Your Sales Funnel program that I developed when selling subscriptions at Washington Business Journal. My first book, , was picked up by an agent and sold to Carroll and Graf publishers.

My two one-woman shows, both based on the theme of self-acceptance,  won places in DC’s Madcap Winter Carnival of New Works, selected from over 250 other entries. I even got rave reviews and referrals from my speaking coach, Arnold Sanow, an author who has trained thousands of public speakers.

But as soon as I tried to take something to market, including the GoldStar Magic! children’s book and Family Pen-Pal Kit™ that I published in 2001, something would stop me…cold. I worked really hard, spent thousands of dollars on coaches, workshops and trainings, and I’d do OK for a while, and then I’d get stuck, and I’d be back looking for a “job job” to pay the bills. (That’s how I got my 30 years’ experience in sales and marketing!) So what happened to my ability to trust my talents and reach my goals?

In the early sixties, Catholic schools were understaffed because of a shortage of nuns, and so at age 20, I was sent out to teach a class of 48 first graders. I had no training, no experience, and no teacher’s aide.  I woke up every morning terrified, and came back to the convent every afternoon exhausted.

By the end of the year, I experienced what used to be called a “nervous breakdown” and was sent back to the motherhouse. The blow to my self-esteem from that “failure” was deep and painful, and affected my professional self-confidence for years to come.

My healing journey has been long and challenging, and it’s not over. But with the help of skilled professionals, as well as my spiritual teachers, I’ve transformed my fears enough so that I was able to free up my blocked passion to make a difference in the world by teaching what I’m learning.
