They say the biggest fear most people have is public speaking. And honestly… I get it.
I wasn’t always confident speaking on panels like this. Years ago, in an old marketing agency, a senior boss made a comment that hit every one of my insecurities. It flipped a switch I didn’t know I had. Overnight, something I’d once been comfortable with became terrifying. My mind associated “being seen” with judgement, criticism, danger. Every presentation felt like a threat. My hands shook. My voice cracked. I felt like a complete wreck.
What changed everything was understanding that fear isn’t a personality trait. It’s a pattern. And patterns can be rewired.
Hypnosis played a huge role in that shift, it goes beyond surface confidence tips. It works with the subconscious, the part of the mind that stores old experiences, old meanings, and the protective responses we don’t even realise we’re running.
In my own sessions, I discovered the exact moment my mind decided public speaking meant “unsafe.” Then I reframed it, updated it, and installed a new belief: being seen is safe, my voice is strong, and I belong in the room. It completely changed how I show up - now you can’t get me off the stage!
It’s the same process I now guide clients through. Whether it’s speaking on stage, speaking up in meetings, or even speaking their truth in their own lives, once the subconscious pattern changes, the behaviour changes naturally.
Confidence isn’t something you force. It’s something you build from the inside out.
So if you’ve ever wondered why you “freeze,” shake, stumble or overthink when it’s your turn to speak… it’s not you. It’s a programme. And programmes can be rewritten.
