In this episode of Speak Arizona, hosted by Serban Mare and powered by District 3 Toastmasters, listeners will explore the 'silent killer'—the fear of public speaking—and understand why it can significantly impact career progress and personal growth. Serban discusses his own struggles with this fear and introduces a three-step process to reframe fear into fuel: naming the fear, exposing oneself to low, medium, and high-stakes speaking, and turning anxiety into excitement. Practical tools like deep breathing methods and adopting power stances are also highlighted to help listeners conquer their speaking anxieties and elevate their professional presence.
