Episode 73
If you're like most people, the thought of public speaking makes you cringe. You worry about making mistakes and embarrassing yourself in front of a large audience. Despite your fears, you're also aware that this is an important skill to have in today's digital age. This episode with Steve Gamlin will offer helpful tips to help you transform your public speaking dreams into reality through visualization.
Learning to visualize and act as if your goal is already accomplished is the key to success. Through visualization and positive thinking, you can achieve your dreams. Visualization is the practice of creating a mental image and then putting this image into words. One can visualize an event by recalling and describing it in their mind. The more details one can recall, the more real their visualization will be.
Steve Gamlin is a speaker, Visualization Coach, and the founder of Motivational Firewood. He teaches individuals and organizations...to SEE THEIR GOALS, understand their deeply-rooted WHY behind them...and build an ACTION PLAN for achievement. By blending humor and motivation, Steve’s programs deliver lessons directly from his own life with frequent trips to the humor bank. His message and style have created solid results for sales teams, managers, and association audiences as they target the sweet spot of engagement between personal and professional goals.
