Something unexpected happened when I was coaching clients: it was the mic-drop moments they shared as they transformed from fearful to confident. “Coach Shelley, you are making me a better speaker and a better person,” and “It's the questions that you pose; they elevate people.”—I will never forget how I felt in those moments.
I often think about how confidence translates throughout life. I assure my clients, “People want to hear what you have to say, and that experience will encourage you to go further.” I should know; I’ve been there, struggling between self-doubt and fear.
My clients' success is a gift to me because my purpose as a coach is to raise the voice of every individual, especially the unspoken. I believe that when you embody your voice and your vision you have an opportunity to change the world.
My eyes welled up with tears of joy after each session and workshop, seeing people share their excitement and speak freely, in ways they hadn’t done so before. They are what inspires my work and fuels my passion as a speaking coach. Because the world’s a better place when you have conversations that connect.
It was New Year’s Day 2020, and I was hiking with friends.
Walking toward me, I spotted Simon Sinek, TEDx speaker and author of “WHY?”…and my “intellectual crush.” A huge fan, my nerves hijacked my brain, and instead of saying something clever, I blurted out:
“I LOVE YOU!”
Simon was unfazed as we passed each other on the trail. I managed to follow up with “Happy New Year,” and he replied, “Happy New Year to you too!”
I learned that taking a risk to speak up, however awkward, can turn out to be a genuinely feel-good experience. My two cents to share with you: start practicing by raising your hand in a meeting, or talking to a stranger in a cafe. When you get a smile in return, you realize doing something scary is never as bad as you think.
The silence was uncomfortably awkward and what may have been seconds, felt like forever!
I was paralyzed. I was part of an ensemble performance in college and when it was my turn to speak my lines, my mind went blank. I have an outgoing personality, maybe even ambivert but from that day onward, I restricted my speaking to behind the scenes.
My lack of confidence speaking in public haunted me for years. As a Marketing Director and Senior Designer, I was overlooked for job promotions and I let important business connections dwindle. I had this feeling of being left behind as I watched others succeed.
It wasn’t until years later that I became my first client. My journey to improve my speaking skills taught me that every opportunity to present is a conversation. I now speak on stages around the world, am a frequent guest on podcasts and coach high level executives how to be world class speakers.
None of this was my career plan. And here I am, a Keynote Speaker and Corporate Trainer helping others to reach their unrealized potential and achieve success.
