In this episode of the Confidence Within podcast, Arturo shares his journey of overcoming the fear of public speaking, and the transformation he underwent is truly inspiring. Arturo opens up about his struggles with public speaking, the anxiety he experienced in professional and personal settings, and the missed opportunities in his career due to his fear. But once he joined my Brilliant Speakers Academy coaching program, he found a way to ignite his inner confidence, learned to show up with genuine authority, and became the best version of himself. During the interview, Arturo recalls how he had tried various methods to tackle his fear before enrolling in the program, such as watching videos on YouTube, reading blogs, and attending Toastmasters meetings. However, it wasn't until he joined the program and focused on understanding the root of his fear and anxiety that he started to see significant changes. By shifting his mindset and embracing daily habits to reinforce his inner confidence, Arturo was able to make impactful changes in his approach to public speaking. What's truly remarkable about Arturo's story is how the program didn't just help him become a more confident speaker, but also inspired him to seek self-improvement in other areas of his life, leading to a holistic transformation beyond just public speaking.

This episode is a must-listen for high-level professionals and entrepreneurs who want to conquer their fear of public speaking and learn to present with confidence and authority. Let's have a moment of honesty. Have you ever started a presentation with an apology for how bad you are at public speaking? How many times have you done that? I've been there and made the same mistake. One of the most significant challenges about starting with an apology is the fact that you are setting the stage for a mistake. Back in your audience's mind, they will be looking for the mistake you are about to make, and chances are, you might even not make it. The sad part is you make the presentation an uphill task because you'll need to work harder to avoid mistakes. Listen to this episode to learn better ways to start your presentation and build immediate rapport with your audience.

Have you ever found yourself standing on the edge of uncertainty, faced with a new job, a different industry, or starting a business in uncharted territory? It can be a daunting experience, but here's the thing: I've been there too. In this episode of the Confidence Within podcast, I share how I navigated through various career pivots, some easier than others, and the invaluable lessons I’ve learned about tackling new challenges with grace. Trust me, I've tackled countless situations that were completely new to me. Such as starting brick-and-mortar and online businesses, becoming an acting manager (crazy!) and even launching a record label company to produce music (double crazy, but this is what happens when you you’re a mom of a multi-talented kid). Here's what I've learned—it's crucial to develop a skill set for handling the unknown. You must believe that you can handle any situation. And the truth is, if you look back at your life, you'll find that you’re already set up to do just that.
