052: Become a Master Talk Author: Conquer Your Fear of Public Speaking with Brenden Kumarasamy
Struggling to promote your book because the thought of speaking about it publicly makes your palms sweat? Executive communication coach Brenden Kumarasamy and I tackle the fear that keeps so many authors silent in this energizing "from the vault" LinkedIn Live replay! Brenden reveals that public speaking anxiety often stems from school experiences where presentations were mandatory, on topics we didn't choose, and tied to punishment. But here's the breakthrough: when you're speaking about your book, you're talking about something you genuinely care about.
We explore Brenden's game-changing "random word exercise" that takes just 5 minutes daily to build speaking confidence, plus his "jigsaw puzzle approach" to preparing for presentations and podcast interviews. If you've been avoiding speaking opportunities because of nerves, this conversation will shift your perspective. Brenden shares why your message needs to win the "boxing match" against your fear, and how practicing communication like a skill can transform you from a nervous author into a confident authority who opens doors through speaking.
