How to Get Off to a Good Start in a Speech

The Happy To Speak Podcast is here to help you be a better speaker and build confidence and self-esteem. We’ll help you overcome social anxiety and crush your public speaking fears so you can live your best life. 

 In this show we cover four main topics: public speaking, building confidence, personal leadership and communication. 

This is a ‘feel good’ show that is unscripted and unrehearsed. Our guests are everyday people doing amazing things. You’ll learn from their personal experiences, their mistakes and their successes. On this show we don’t use AI or bots, everything is created by an actual human being :) 

Past episodes include: How to Live Fearlessly, How to Give a Great Speech, How to Empower Yourself, How to Deal With Social Anxiety, etc.

Your host, Jim Simcoe, is a father, husband, author and coach.  He’s also a sexual abuse survivor. Drawing on experiences from a lifetime of surfing, cross-fit, coaching and music, Jim gives real-world lessons and advice so that you live the life you deserve. Be warned- he’s a product of the 80s so expect a lot of Top Gun references and dayglo tank-tops.

LFG…

**The Happy To Speak Podcast is the official re-brand of the Hero Up Podcast. The old Hero Up episodes ended in 2020 but you can still listen to them here. Thanks for hanging out with us and checking out the re-branded show!
