I just gave a talk to a female founders community, my latest in what's now dozens of these over the years.
These collaborations light me up, and it's what happens when women support other women.
Here's the bit that might surprise you.
I'm a huge introvert. And I still get properly excited to do these talks, especially when it's supporting women business owners with real strategies, in a world where honestly, so much still isn't stacked in our favour.
Old me would have shuddered at the thought.
Public speaking has always been my biggest nemesis. The kind of fear that used to genuinely keep me up the night before.
But here's the thing. Without being visible, how is anyone supposed to know what you actually offer?
So let this be your sign, if you're an introvert who's been avoiding the stage, the panel, the podcast interview, the live video: you can do this too. It just takes determination and practice.
Slowly but surely, my nervous system is still learning that nothing bad happens when everyone's looking at me.
If I can do it, so can you. 🧡
What's the thing you've been avoiding because it scares you?
