E3. Overcoming fear when speaking in English

The English for Change Podcast

Afraid to speak English in public? Well this episode is for you!

Let me guide you through what you can do to beat your fear and feel confident in your next meeting, discussion or presentation in English.
I speak about some useful strategies from psychology to better prepare you and to stop you from overthinking when you need to speak in English. I also tell you a story from my own experience as a shy public speaker.

And finally, I share an idea of how you can use your fear for good: using your voice in English to speak about the challenges you face so you can help others who feel the same way.
