* I came to see Alix because my best friend John of 20 yrs asked me to be best man at his wedding. I was really scared but did not want to let him down. I’d always been shy since my school days when I was teased at school for wearing glasses. I wouldn’t speak in a group and hated parties.
Thanks for all the help that you gave to me during our consultations as it made all the difference for me in my role as Best Man at my friend’s wedding on Saturday.
I’m very pleased to tell you that it all went well, I felt comfortable during the whole day, both in meeting people for the first time and in mixing socially (to be honest, mixing socially still requires a big effort from me but I’m improving at it) and to round things off my speech, which had been my biggest fear, went down really well and a number of people congratulated me on it. Wow!!
Even before Saturday I had been making progress and now that the wedding went so well for me I’ve gained additional confidence and I intend to keep building upon that for the future.
Alix’s comments on public speaking phobia
Fear of public speaking is a common problem with many of my clients. It is usually due to a lack of confidence and self esteem. Most people rarely speak in front of a group but when a person is getting married or being the best man, being able to speak confidently to a group is essential. At work though, simply by being able to speak fluently and without nervousness in front of a group of people brings obvious advantages. And it’s surprising how many of us find it difficult to speak confidently.Further Reading on Public Speaking & Phobias
