I had THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!! I wish I heard this in high school, "Fear disappears when the mission to serve is clear." Thanks Dr. Moseley!

Dr. Justin Moseley, your message truly resonated with me! As a pastor and public speaker for 23 years, I've continually faced the fear and excitement before stepping on stage. Changing my mindset about who I was performing for—myself or the people I serve—has made all the difference. Thank you for your inspiring guidance, my friend!

I can relate to that. Whenever I have to give a presentation or speak in front of an audience, I imagine myself as an actress playing a role. I focus on delivering my best performance, and surprisingly, it works every time.

If you want to become somebody in life you can't avoid public speaking.... you have spoken well....!!!!

Sometimes we need to push ourselves. I'm autistic and very introverted. I realized early on that I needed to force myself to do uncomfortable things so I don't let my issues control me. I took speech classes in junior high, high school and college. I hated it but I forced myself to do it to grow. I volunteer for speaking opportunities at work even though it makes me nervous. The feeling of pride in myself after I give a presentation is wonderful. Dr. Justin is right. We all have a message to share.

[DrPeteSulack]

So good brother!! So proud of you and how God is using you! Your transparency and vulnerability is refreshing!

[broadcastyourauthority]

Justin, this is such an important topic. I remember feeling the same way when the teacher would call on me in class when younger.

[zachhesterberg]

This is good. I like the correlation of fear and excitement being the same bodily responses to reframe what you're anticipating.

[subtleskills]

Great talk! You are spot on too many speakers get stuck because they are focused on themselves versus who they can help. Used to be guilty of the same.

[seanosborn]
