If you are ready to change from uncertainty to confidence-if you want to have influence in your brand and business, Amy is your guide.

She understands how many women feel lonely and isolated while growing their businesses. This leads to stress, overwhelm, and a loss in confidence. 

And if you don’t have that confidence piece, you can’t build your business. We’ve seen a massive shift in how businesses are marketed. With social media, you have an almost unlimited space to show up and speak about what you do. But one of the biggest challenges that women face is “public speaking”.

Public Speaking can be anything from:

One-on-one conversation

Sales pitch

On-stage speaking experience

Live Video

Webinars / Zoom

Amy shares with us her 5 tips on how to help successful women overcome the fear of public speaking:

1. Stand Tall Like A Tree: We need to remember that how we look, in our posture, sends a message. We forget that we speak volumes without saying a word. Instead of getting stuck worrying about what you’re going to say and how you’re going to say it, start by just standing tall. This helps you to feel more stable and grounded, which will allow you to instantly be more confident.
2. Shine the Light: Imagine that you have a search light that’s positioned in your heart-center. Stand in such a way that that search light can shine out to your audience. This opens you and your posture up, which signals confidence, and it will allow people to sense your energy. 
3. Bring the Energy of a Smile: The act of smiling releases the “happy hormone” oxytocin. If you bring the energy of a smile, not just the motion of smiling, you receive an oxytocin hit and the people who are watching you get an oxytocin hit. Your energy can be shown in person and through live video. Find a picture of something that brings you joy and look at it before you go on video or do your next presentation.
4. Remember-It’s Not About You: When we are consumed by our fears, we cannot serve others.
5. Use the “Stop Sign Technique”: When you have all of those self-destructing thoughts pop up in your mind. Start by recognizing the thoughts that you have, then visualize in your mind a stop sign, take a deep breath, and imagine all of those thoughts dumping out of your mind onto the sidewalk.

These steps will not only help you in growing your business, they will help you in your whole life. You will feel so much more confident because you have trained your body and brain. Just like working out, building your confidence is like building a muscle.
