Have you ever stood in front of a room with your heart thumping in your ears? Or walked away from a moment knowing you should have spoken up, and didn't?
Fear runs more of our leadership than we like to admit. Powering through it works for a while, until it doesn't. Getting specific about what's actually going on underneath is where the real shift starts.
In this solocast I share a three-part framework I've used for years to work with my own fear, especially before walking onto a stage: name it, frame it, tame it. It's simple, and it applies to all the everyday moments where the stakes feel higher than they probably are.
Here's what I get into:
The moment before I addressed a large audience for the first time, and what was actually running through my head
Why putting words to a feeling changes what your brain does next
The difference between fears that are about survival and fears that are about social standing
Why the worst case version we play in our heads rarely shows up in real life
A small action that builds more real confidence than another round of rehearsal
Why naming your fears out loud builds trust with the people you lead
