Description

Are you terrified of public speaking? You're not alone.

In this conversation, Will and Linda Ugelow explore the fear of public speaking, also known as glossophobia, uncovering its roots in societal conditioning, childhood trauma, and personal experiences. Linda shares her journey from a shy performer to a confident speaker, stressing the power of authenticity and connection over the pressure to be perfect.

Will outlines a transformative four-step process for overcoming fear, including healing past traumas, restoring safety, and designing the ideal speaking experience. Together, they emphasize how embracing your unique story and connecting with your audience can turn speaking fears into opportunities for personal growth and transformation.
