Public Speaking
Fears often act as formidable barriers to pursuing your desired outcomes and dreams. They kept me from starting my own venture until I was 63. When I achieved the success I was looking for, I had to ask myself why I hadn’t done it sooner.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur or business owner, or a senior executive near retirement, you’ll quickly recognize my fears – the fear of failure, looking foolish, being rejected, financial instability, and more – are also yours.
Like irrational fears, self-limiting beliefs and perceptions that run contrary to reality can hinder your true potential. I’ve learned to help others recognize and live with their fears, unproductive beliefs, and perceptions by offering tools and techniques that have worked for me.
These include learning to really listen to and in some cases neutralize your inner voices, understand your true purpose, and stop disempowering yourself and those around you. They are all designed to create a greater understanding of and empathy for yourself.
You’ll leave the sessions inspired, eager to embrace your journey, and committed to pursuing increasingly larger and more challenging results, regardless of any fears, beliefs, or perceptions that may stand in your way.
