Excerpt & Encouragement BEFORE YOU BEGIN: BELIEVE I welcome you to jump into the strategies in the book. Just promise me that you won't start with doubt. Doubt deters you from taking strategies seriously. Doubt erodes confidence. Doubt makes truth seem like lies. Doubt will feed your fear and give you more speaking nightmares. So you have to let go of your doubts and start believing in yourself. A BIG part of overcoming fear is believing in yourself. Begin with belief. "Where you are is not where you have to be." This sentence was included in my introduction. Do you believe it? Do you believe in yourself? At least some part of you does. Otherwise you wouldn't have picked up this book! Let's build on this belief. Take a moment and whisper the immortal words from the classic story, The Little Engine That Could, "I think I can. I think I can. I think I can." Are you struggling? Do you find yourself dwelling on negative thoughts? "It's not going to work for me.""I'm just not a good speaker.""I'm an introvert. I just can't.""I've tried in the past, and it didn't work." If you are struggling to believe, will you suspend disbelief while you read? Read this book as a believer, not as a skeptic. Education will often teach you to think critically. Keep that mindset for work and academics. This book needs you to think receptively. Trade in any negativity for positivity. Think well of yourself. Believe in yourself. Remember: "Where you are is not where you have to be." Act on these strategies and set yourself up for success in speaking, in your career, and in your life: THE SEVEN STRATEGIES 1.    Uncover & Clean the Wound 2.    Imagine the Worst 3.    You Be You 4.    Speak to One 5.    It's Not About You 6.    Channel The Power 7.    Be in the Moment
