I don't believe I've got over a fear of speaking, but I do believe that I have learned to manage it better through preparation, failing and succeeding. The purpose of this blog is to share tips and tricks for delivering webinars. As a fellow introvert, you may want to learn how to deliver webinars as a step forward into speaking. So, I hope that this helps, and I look forward to your comments.

People do not always learn from the 'growth mindset'. It can become an excuse which prevents growth rather than promoting it so we need a discovery mindset instead.
Why 2020 wasn’t all bad, and moving forward
The thing with hitting rock bottom is that it gives you a strong foundation to build on. It strips away the inessential, the distractions, and the toxic people and situations that are not helping you to be directed towards your goals. It also gives you more empathy, and it forces you to have faith in your own resourcefulness and abilities. 2020 helped us to do that, with 2020 vision. For those who survived, let's lift up others as we go along.
Balancing Gratitude in Leadership with Results
Leadership involves gratitude and humility, but what does this mean for results? My teams have helped me to learn to lead with gratitude and it's a lesson I will not forget.
