Media Savvy with Bonnie Taub-Dix

Fear of Speaking? How to Find Confidence in the Spotlight with Linda Ugelow


Listen Later

Does public speaking make you sweat? Shake? Want to run and hide under the table?

You’re not alone — and this week’s guest is here to help you flip the script on stage fright.

Linda Ugelow (that’s YOU-guh-lo) is a speaking and confidence coach, vocal expert, and author of Delight in the Limelight. She once dreaded speaking herself — now she helps professionals, authors, and entrepreneurs turn fear into freedom in front of the mic, camera, or boardroom.

We’re talking emotional fears, physical symptoms (hello, dry mouth and shaky hands), voice control, filler words, and the real reason confidence isn’t optional if you want to show up and stand out in your career.

Whether you’re prepping for media interviews, workplace presentations, or just want to stop second-guessing yourself every time you speak up — this episode is for you.

 Tune in to learn:

 What fear of speaking is really about — and how to reframe it
 Tips for calming your body and steadying your voice
 How to stop using filler words without sounding robotic
 The surprising link between posture, presence, and performance
 Why your voice matters (even if you're not on stage)

Because confidence isn’t just for the spotlight — it’s for every room you walk into.
