I wonder if any of the following are true for you?
- Do you want your work to make a difference in the world, but somehow you feel you’re not doing enough?
- Do you want to increase your influence, but you’re overwhelmed because you have already committed to too many things?
- Maybe you have an opportunity to present your perspective at an important conference or meeting, but you feel under-prepared and nervous because of the high-stakes.
- Perhaps you’re pitching to a potential client or major funder you really want to work with.
- Or your last speaking engagement didn’t go as well as you would have liked.
- Or do you perchance get stage fright, when you have to present to people of power and authority — and thus forget your own?
