Have you ever felt nervous or fearful when speaking in public? In his TEDxWilmington talk, Dr. Justin Moseley shares his personal journey of overcoming his fear of public speaking. From a traumatic experience in second grade to struggling through a college speech class, Dr. Moseley’s fear of speaking in front of others seemed insurmountable. However, through self-reflection and determination, he discovered three keys that helped him conquer his fear.
The first key was realizing that everyone has a message to share. Dr. Moseley discovered that his life experiences and lessons could help others facing similar challenges. The second key was shifting the focus from himself to the people he wanted to serve. By understanding that his message was about benefiting others, he was able to alleviate some of his fear.
Finally, Dr. Moseley learned to transform his fear into excitement by recognizing that the physiological responses to fear and excitement are similar. By reframing his anxiety as excitement, he was able to make a positive impact on his audience and inspire others to share their messages with the world.
Through his inspiring journey, Dr. Moseley encourages others to find their message, shift their focus to serving others, and transform fear into excitement. By sharing our unique messages, we have the power to make a difference in the lives of others and leave a positive impact on the world.
