Overcome Speaking Anxiety with Ryan J. Warriner

I adore public speaking. But even I still get nervous. Most people have anxiety around speaking—even if they’ve been doing it a long time. And, for introverts, it’s even worse.

Networking, speaking on stage, giving a presentation, or appearing as a guest on a podcast are skills that can be learned. And entrepreneurs have to do these activities to grow our business.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The most common mistake people make in communication
• Why speaking anxiety is so prevalent 
• Why it’s crucial to understand your audience’s needs and desires
• Common attributes that great speakers share
• 3 simple tips for overcoming speaking anxiety
