"I am hopeful that this course will help me to find my voice and give me the confidence to share it for the good of others"

I enrolled in this course because for as long as I can remember, I have had a strong desire to become a motivational/inspirational speaker. I hang off of every word of an uplifting and inspiring speaker. I long to be that person that motivates and inspires others to be the best version of themselves. Funny thing is I am terrified of public speaking and sometimes speaking up in group settings with people I do not know. Most of my professional roles have included public speaking components, but it does not matter how many times I present or have to speak to an audience of people, I still cannot shake the feeling of being terrified. My public speaking phobia has even caused me to take myself out of consideration for promotions and/or other employment opportunities if I anticipate that the position entails/requires a significant amount of public speaking or presenting. It has become quite crippling and I desperately want to overcome the fear. 

I am hopeful that this course will help me to find my voice and give me the confidence to share it for the good of others. Lisa, you inspire me! I adore your energy, your confidence, and your ability to motivate others. Much like you wanted abs like Serena Williams, I want your confidence and ease of capturing the attention of others through my words.
