In this episode, Heather Christie shares her experience and tips for public speaking and presentations, especially for those that are new to it or even fear it. Heather avoided public speaking when possible early in her career, and when necessary she would rely on “winging it,” telling herself and others that she always did better that way. Heather’s fear of public speaking extended even to the preparation.

If you’ve struggled with speaking before, or if you’re anxious to add another advantage in your corporate climb, Heather offers sound, actionable advice to help you take the next step in this episode of Mastermind.
