Slay The Stage Fright Monster For Halloween

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Happy Halloween!

My seven-year-old son, Liam, wants to know what you are going to be for Halloween. He is going to be a Chinese Ninja Warrior.

Being scared can be fun sometimes, but it is never fun to have Stage Fright. Isn’t it ironic how audiences of completely normal people who are not even dressed up as goblins or ghouls can sometimes make us shake in our shoes?

Don’t let stage fright hold you back any longer! Halloween is a great time to slay the Stage Fright Monster once and for all. Click here for your Free 30 Minute Stage Fright Elimination Coaching Session.

Our imagination is what gets us in trouble. Just like a child who imagines there are monsters in the closet, we imagine everyone staring at us and being critical. We see ourselves freezing or forgetting what we are going to say.

We see the audience as a negative impersonal force that is out to get us. I’ll bet that your anxiety level has already increased just by reading this; you would think that I was taking lessons from horror writer Steven King.

How would you like to learn how to Overcome Stage Fright In 10 Minutes Or Less? This sounds impossible, doesn’t it? I can assure you that it is not. I have helped many people like you to do just that.

There is a catch though. Don’t you hate it when that happens! The catch is that it takes about 6 weeks of practice, ten minutes a day to completely overcome stage fright.

This is not much to ask considering the way that stage fright has held you back, thwarted you and stopped you from expressing your talent and achieving your dreams. I think it is time for you to Slay The Stage Fright Monster

This is why I am so passionate about being a public speaking and performance coach. I am thrilled when I have the opportunity to teach gifted students how to break down the barrier of performance anxiety and achieve outstanding results.

Two outstanding events last week

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I spoke at two great events last week. The first was the Nashville Public Speaking and Onstage Performance Meetup at Cummins Station in Nashville.

We had a great group of people. I had the opportunity to train each person who attended live onstage. Students learned how to utilize the power of the story as a public speaking technique.

It was amazing to see the dramatic changes as students broke down barriers with the audience. Many were able to overcome performance anxiety and gain valuable onstage performance and public speaking skills.

My second talk of the week was at Barcamp Nashville a conference for the digital and technical community held at Cadillac Ranch. There were some truly amazing people there. I am very non-technical but felt right at home because of the deep need for technically minded business people to connect with their audience.

I spoke on how to How to use the power of public speaking to establish yourself as an expert and rise to the top 10% of your field. The event was a huge success.

Here are a few comments from those who attended:

Bruce the “moose” was fantastic. He is engaging, professional and candid–things that are essential if one is to instruct a student in public speaking or performance. I had a blast! It was worth the drive and worth the time! I hope he holds another session in a few weeks so I can gain more knowledge and meet more cool people. By the way, Bruce, I’m working on a new and improved “story”. Yay!

“It was great. Very educational and very inspiring. Bruce was very knowledgeable, helpful, and provided a great amount of value. I look forward to learning more and supporting Bruce and the group. 

Nick Navatta

Good teacher and content. The message was valuable and well delivered. There are some minor logistical things that would help those in attendance - things like announcing at the beginning - the agenda, when to break, when it is appropriate to ask questions, where to park, where the bathrooms are, etc. Overall, the meeting was very worthwhile and enjoyable.

Both events were video taped. I will upload excerpts of the videos here soon.
