In this episode Alex takes us through how he's gone from a nervous / petrified public speaker to feeling a lot more relaxed and feeling confident. You get to hear the most embarrassing stories from when Alex fell apart on stage and how he's used some simple tips to train his brain to feel more relaxed. 

Here are the points we discuss:

1. Treat your brain like a muscle, continually exposing it to the stress of public speaking will improve it
2. Use a mind map instead of making notes: research. 
3. Focus on the other person’s facial expression takes the pressure away from you
4. The worst thing that can happen isn’t really that bad. 
5. Use changes in tonality in order to keep the audience engaged.
6. Beta blockers - definitely advise against it
7. Each slide needs one single point
8. Ability to record yourself for a webinar, host a skype call, sales call with a group of people, pitching for investment etc.
9. Drinking and drugs makes it worse so avoid these if you have a public speaking event coming up in the week ahead.
