Standing in the Fear

The Impostor Syndrome Files

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about the fear of public speaking. And by public speaking, we’re not referring to a keynote address in front of hundreds of people. We’re talking about the everyday moments in our work when we have to speak up in meetings or present our work to our teams. These moments can trigger intense anxiety and self-doubt, but they don’t have to. My guest this week, organizational psychologist Amanda Tobe, talks about the fear of public speaking and the stories we tell ourselves that reinforce our fear-based narratives. We also talk about steps we can take to reframe our fears and show up more confidently in public speaking situations.
