Title: From Stage Fright to Spotlight: Overcoming Fear to Do Motivational Speaking with Ease

---

As a motivational speaker, I often find myself reflecting on my journey from trembling with stage fright even in the office in from of more than 2 people to today - commanding the spotlight with ease. I even got to be on Les Brown's stage and learn from the master! It’s a transformation that many aspire to achieve, yet it requires dedication, practice, and most importantly, overcoming fear. In this article, I’ll share not only my personal insights but also three actionable steps to conquer stage fright and embrace the joy of motivational speaking. Additionally, we’ll explore the multitude of benefits that extend beyond the stage, enriching every facet of your life.

3 steps to Conquering Stage Fright

1. Become Vulnerable: Think about your past and where yourr idea of vulnerability comes from. Think of it as a strength. Vulnerabiity is bridge to your future. Recognize the audience is rooting for you and want ot hear you authentically. Start by sharing your solid experiences with others, the things you know and just get used to talking openly. Then expand to deeper topics. By embracing vulnerability, you create a place of trust in speaking where the grip of fear will begin to loosen.

2. Prepare and Practice: "Practice makes perfect” is a necsessity for motivational speaking. Invest time in crafting your message, refining your delivery, and rehearsing your presentation. Powerpoint slides make it even more challenging. Remember - familiarity of topics you enjoy speaking about breeds confidence, allowing you to navigate challenges with poise.

BONUS: Visualize you up on the stage and create a positive mindset - Squash the self-doubt. It has no place here.

3. Engage the Audience: Transform your fear into excitement by shifting from your worry or concerns into excitement. Remember progress over perfection, and remember to involve the audience through interaction, thought-provoking questions, and anecdotes. By fostering a shared experience you alleviate the pressure of solo performance and elevate the collective energy in the room.

Public speaking has benefits across all areas of your life.

Personal Growth:
