One thing is for sure, Amy had told Rachel from the start that she could not speak to more than three people without becoming paralysed with fright and blushing badly. However, after her session she wrote to tell Rachel that she had ended up singing in front of 100 and was over her blushing. This is fact. Yes! But how was Amy able to ditch her blushing? Here's how ...
Amy told Rachel that she had already tried visualisation techniques and positive affirmations, without success. She complained that these techniques weren't practical enough for her. She had resigned herself to the idea that "this is how I am", and "I'm never going to be able to speak confidently in public". Sure enough, Amy did not find it easy to produce visual pictures in her mind. However, Rachel discovered that there was a successful alternative. It was a major breakthrough! Amy liked music and she could use this instead. What Rachel found was that not only did Amy enjoy music but also she could easily replay it in her mind, and when she did her feelings changed remarkably. Rachel encouraged Amy to go through some of her favourite musical memories. Amy remembered a particular time when she was sitting with her partner at the back of a concert hall listening to a beautiful piece of music over a glass of wine. As Amy recaptures this romantic musical moment you can hear her change: her voice softens and she relaxes. This was HER trigger for confidence. Once she had identified this music memory all she had to do was to keep replaying it in her mind whenever she thought of speaking in public. It put her in the right frame of mind so she could face a crowd without any fear of blushing. No, visualisations didn't work for her, but romantic music memories did. The trigger for her confidence was similar to visualisations but done in a different way to suit her. Overcoming stage fright can be as easy as that, Amy proved it. It really works!If you are not quite sure how it works or applies to you, no problem! The "Confidence for women in public speaking" CDs will make it crystal clear. They go through Amy's progress each step of the way until you hear her confidence blossom. What a huge difference this made to her and her career options. She was over her blushing and had never before imagined it was possible. But best of all this progress could be your progress.
