Do you suffer from impostor syndrome?
Have you been letting your nerves hold you back from becoming the globally recognised thought-leader that you know you can be?
Would you like tips on how to get an audience leaning closer in to hear what you have to say?
In this series of interviews celebrating 10 years in the speaking business, I’m in conversation with some of my favourite professional speakers so I was thrilled to have a conversation with the wonderful Joanne Lockwood, founder and CEO of SEE Change Happen.
Joanne talks about her journey to becoming a speaker, how she repositioned herself after gender transition and shares her top tips to help you become a better and more confident presenter.

1. Managing and overcoming imposter syndrome
2. Steps to building your public speaking confidence
3. Owning the stage as a speaker
4. The path to thought-leadership and professional speaking
5. The importance of trusting your knowledge
6. How to hook your audience from the beginning
