Being seen.

We speakers crave it.

And yet, at the same time, we are a bit terrified by it as well.

If we get on stage, Facebook Live, a webinar, or a podcast and tell our story and share our expertise, we wonder what will they think?

Then we worry that they won't show up to hear us speak anyway, and if they do, they will criticize us for sharing our truth.

Sharing what we're deeply passionate about is a scary proposition.

It makes us vulnerable. We lay bare and we worry about the rejection of the unseen “they.”

How do you feel the fear and speak your truth anyway?

How do you not let the they get to you and stop you from sharing your message?

I know the speakers that I work with like to share their story to connect with the audience. But that puts us in a place of vulnerability.

On the podcast today, I give you three questions to ask yourself so that you can speak your truth from a place of strength instead of a place of fear. Plus, one of the most overlooked places to find your story that connects with the audience.
