Today on the podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking to Caroline Goyder who is a voice coach, and she's the author of the new book “Find your voice.” She is also a Ted x. Speaker and her Ted Talk has had 7 and a half million views which is really incredible. In this episode we're talking all about confidence, particularly confidence when it comes to speaking, whether that’s speaking on a stage, speaking up in a meeting or speaking on the phone. And this is I hope such a reassuring chat because both Caroline and Ihave struggled in this area before, we both admitted to having blushed in thepast. And so it's really coming from a place of her having experienced thenervousness and the fear that comes along with speaking, and having learned alot about herself, made a lot of progress and she actually gets to help otherpeople with that as well. So we talk about Caroline's definition of confidence,and I think this is really interesting, not what you might be expecting. Wetalk about why nerves are actually a good thing and why there's nothing to beashamed about if you do experience nerves before speaking, it's actuallycompletely normal and I hope this conversation helped to normalize even moreand how to know there's nothing to be ashamed of. We talk about how to overcome the specific things that can hold us backfrom speaking like blushing or shaking or speaking to the fast and Carolineshares lots of tips on growing your confidence in general, when it comes tospeaking, phone phobia and people who experience this will know what I'mtalking about if you're scared of being on the phone in front of the people inthe office for example or if you're someone that maybe doesn't like to answerthe phone when people call, if it's an unknown number for example, I'm one ofthese people by the way.
