Can you be more brave as an ADHD entrepreneur?
"It was the most mortifying experience of my life. And I'm saying that as a person whose skirt has flown up over her head in front of a bus full of tourists in San Francisco, I would do that every day for the rest of my life before I relived this one experience...." - Katie McManus, Brave Business Coaching
In this episode, I, Katie McManus, share my experience with overcoming my fear of public speaking. I was always scared and lacked confidence growing up, especially when it came to my public speaking duties.
I delve into a couple of personal, painful stories around this.
And I also explain how fears can often hold people back, how they're different for everyone, and how the thing that someone is most afraid of can actually make them successful!

Pedaling to keep up
People have always told me that I come across as super confident.
If only they saw me when I was a young kid.
We used to take the bicycles out and race down the hill. Well, my friends were racing. I was nervously following behind trying to keep up!
And as I reveal in the episode, the more people who think you're super confident, the more you withdraw with imposter syndrome!
Overcoming the public speaking nightmare
After the ordeal I went through with one of my professors, I knew I'd have to pull out all the stops to overcome that fear of public speaking.
And I did.
I made a point of facing that fear and I invested in my future.
Hopefully after listening to this episode, you'll be able to do the same!
