How to Counter Fear of Speaking

This matters because leaders need lower stress and higher cognitive capacity to communicate clearly. After more than 20 years teaching presentation skills, I’ve seen it repeatedly: when stress rises, breathing becomes shallow, the body tightens, and the mind loses access to its best thinking. And this doesn’t just happen during presentations. It happens in 1:1s, client conversations, performance discussions, and even routine meetings. Become mindful of when you’re holding your breath or your body is constricting. Then reset—sit tall, open the chest, and take a few slow, deep breaths, ensuring the exhale is longer than the inhale. THIS IS NOT A Silver Bullet! But practiced consistently, small moments, many times throughout the day will help you become more expanded which has the ability to lower your stress/anxiety. *This doesn't take the place of medical advice ☀️
