939. Tricks For Overcoming Public Speaking And Scary Goals!

I am back in my home in Arizona and I am so excited because I am one day away from speaking on one of my best friend’s stages: Powerhouse Women. Lindsey Schwartz puts on this event every single year, and this year is the biggest event that she has done yet, which makes me feel a little nervous about how many people I will be talking to when I am on stage.

I have my stage tricks up my sleeve that have always helped me, and in today’s episode, I want to share them with you. I’ve been to a lot of different coached speaking events, and I’ve had speaking coaching myself, and I’ve practiced, I’ve made myself go and do it and get the experience and now I want to share that wisdom learned with you.

938. Best Practices For Managing Stress To Create A Winners Mind

Chris and I are currently reading Sustain Your Game: High Performance Keys to Manage Stress, Avoid Stagnation, and Beat Burnout by Alan Stein. In this week’s He Said She Said, Chris and I share our takeaways from this book and share with you our feelings on stress and how to manage it to create a winner’s mindset. With every decision to let things bother us and weigh us down, we are robbing our future selves of where we’re supposed to go because we’re robbing the present moment where things can actually happen. The present is where all creativity, ideas and forward momentum come from.
