\nIntroduction
\n
\n
\n
\nChloe: Hello and welcome to the Calmer You Podcast. This is your host Chloe Brotheridge, I’m a coach, a hypnotherapist and I'm the author of “the anxiety solution, and brave new girl” and this podcast is all about helping you to become your calmest happiest and most confident self. Today on the podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking to Caroline Goyder who is a voice coach, and she's the author of the new book “Find your voice.” She is also a Ted x. Speaker and her Ted Talk has had 7 and a half million views which is really incredible. In this episode we're talking all about confidence, particularly confidence when it comes to speaking, whether that’s speaking on a stage, speaking up in a meeting or speaking on the phone.
\n
\n
\n
\nAnd this is I hope such a reassuring chat because both Caroline and I
\nhave struggled in this area before, we both admitted to having blushed in the
\npast. And so it's really coming from a place of her having experienced the
\nnervousness and the fear that comes along with speaking, and having learned a
\nlot about herself, made a lot of progress and she actually gets to help other
\npeople with that as well. So we talk about Caroline's definition of confidence,
\nand I think this is really interesting, not what you might be expecting. We
\ntalk about why nerves are actually a good thing and why there's nothing to be
\nashamed about if you do experience nerves before speaking, it's actually
\ncompletely normal and I hope this conversation helped to normalize even more
\nand how to know there's nothing to be ashamed of.
\n
\n
\n
\nWe talk about how to overcome the specific things that can hold us back
\nfrom speaking like blushing or shaking or speaking to the fast and Caroline
\nshares lots of tips on growing your confidence in general, when it comes to
\nspeaking, phone phobia and people who experience this will know what I'm
\ntalking about if you're scared of being on the phone in front of the people in
\nthe office for example or if you're someone that maybe doesn't like to answer
\nthe phone when people call, if it's an unknown number for example, I'm one of
\nthese people by the way.
\n
\n
\n
