Shy or Uncertain?
Have you been afraid to speak your mind? I know shyness and uncertainty have stopped me cold in the past.
Shyness and Uncertainty are NOT a Disease!
I want to assure you that both shyness and uncertainty can be overcome.
For many years, I was afraid to speak up in my close relationships because I did not know how to ask for what I wanted. I was afraid of being rejected. Occasionally, I would erupt like a volcano because I had stuffed all of my disappointment about unmet needs, wants and dreams. I was screaming out for help, but others just heard screaming.
My spouse would be loving and helpful afterwards, for awhile. This was not because he understood, but because he did not want me screaming. Since I still had not clearly communicated in a way that he understood, the cycle was destined to be repeated again…and again. Can you relate?
How do you Find Your Voice?
The skills needed to articulate your ideas in public are no different than the skills needed to communicate your ideas to a loved one.
You need to get clear about what you want. You need to articulate your needs or desires in a way that the target audience can understand. You need to check that your message was received accurately.
Definition of Insanity: doing what you have always done and expecting a different result!
If your results are not changing, I can assure you, what you are doing is not working.
