How to Overcome fear of Public Speaking
What is Glossophobia?
Fear of public speaking, or glossophobia, is incredibly common—nearly 30% of Americans rank it as a top fear. It often stems from past experiences of feeling unheard, low self-esteem, or fear of judgment. But don’t worry—you’re not alone, and it’s entirely possible to overcome this challenge.
THE IMPACT OF PUBLIC SPEAKING ANXIETY
Fear of speaking in public can hold you back from career opportunities or personal growth. It may cause physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweaty palms, or nausea. But great communication skills can change your life—professionally and personally.
My Personal Journey
In 2017, I struggled to speak to 20 people without shaking. By 2019, I addressed 400 leaders at an international event, and by 2023, I spoke to 20,000 people in India. My transformation began with mindset shifts and consistent practice—and yours can too.

Become a Confident Speaker
You too can become a paid, sought after speaker whether it’s to small groups or thousands of people. In 2017 I could only speak to eight people. Fast forward to 2023 where I spoke to a stadium of 20,000 about the interconnectedness of humanity.
