If you've been stuck in fear, self-doubt, your past failures and you're ready to break through your comfort zones to finally reach the pinnacle of success in every area of your life, then this podcast is for you. Here's your host, Terry L Fossum.
Speaker 2:Hey Terry L Fossum here. Welcome to this week's episode of the Comeback Chronicles podcast. This one is going to be all about you getting over your fear of public speaking forever. In fact, not just getting over your fear of public speaking, but making it so. Every time you get up on stage, every time you make a phone call, every time you're talking to one-on-one, anytime, you need to feel the most powerful you ever have in your life that you're going to be able to do exactly that. If that's of interest at all, listen on, here we go. Okay, let's talk about this. As you may know, I have a coaching course called the Viral Stage Transformation Experience. This is all about helping people book a TEDx talk. Now, I'm not an official TEDx, whatever employee or whatever. I've just been really blessed with having what was it the number two TEDx in the world that was called one of something to the effect of the 30 most impactful TED Talks of this century, and I've also been very, very blessed to be, well, a pretty highly paid public speaker and been speaking throughout my life. More importantly than that to me is I've helped raise millions and millions and millions of dollars for charities that are important to me across the country, and then some and then some and then some.
Speaker 2:Now in my military career I was trying to look back at this. And my military career went better than it should have. I have no idea why it went that way. At least I didn't until I started thinking about it. I'm going to share that secret with you in a second. Then I got into the civilian world, into business, and that went extremely well. I was with the top fraction of 1% of my industry in the world. I'll call that pretty good. And then, of course, in the philanthropic world I've been able to really set some records, break some records and do a lot of cool stuff.
Speaker 2:And I was trying to think back. Why? Because I'll be the first one to admit I may not be the smartest person in the room, I may not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier. I'm a mechanical engineer we are not known for our personalities and I'm an introvert. Okay, tomorrow morning, after this recording and a couple of the things I'm going to get done, I head off to my off-grid log cabin in the middle of nowhere on top of a mountain in Montana to be by myself for a few days until my wife and one of my best friends joins me and I go out into the wilderness by myself all the time, all around the world. Why? Because I'm an introvert and you would think with something like that, wow, public speaking that must be hard. Okay, it could be. And if you're an introvert or if you have a fear of public speaking or you just want to be able to blow the doors off it, you're going to be really interested in what's going on here.
Speaker 2:Because when I analyzed why I've been so blessed in all my careers, it's two reasons. Number one is because I've got a great attitude. That's a whole different podcast. I've already recorded a couple on it and I've got an audio series called Blow the Bolts you might want to listen to. That really talks about preserving your attitude, like your life depends on it. Because it does. Your life depends on your attitude. But then the other thing that I realized is because I was a public speaker, I would get up front.
Speaker 2:So in the military I got to Fairchild Air Force Base January of 88. By 1990, I was already the officer of the year for Fairchild Air Force Base and I was humanitarian of the year for Fairchild Air Force Base and I was humanitarian of the year for all strategic air command. And what do they call it? Volunteer of the year for the greater Spokane area, spokane, washington. That was a huge award back in its day. I was on TV several times a day because of it.
Speaker 2:And again, why? Because, if you know me, I'm not that cool at all. And again, I'm not trying to self-demean or whatever, but there's a lot of people who are smarter than me, with better personalities and everything else. But here's the deal, here's the secret, and you're going to want to know this for yourself. Right, I got up front. I would get up front and speak. If they need an emcee for an event, I'd volunteer. Okay, I can emcee, I can read a script and we're going to talk about how to get over that fear. Don't worry, we're getting there. But I'm just creating in you, hopefully, the need to do so.
Speaker 2:My career went so well because people saw me up front. Whatever the reason was, I was emceeing an event, who cares? But they saw me up front. And then I would start speaking at events. And they saw me up front.
Speaker 2:Listen, if you want to blow the doors off, whatever it is you want to blow the doors off of, you are going to have to speak. You're going to have to do it. Okay, now, before you start, well then I can't do it. Yes, you can. In fact, you already have. We're going to get into that. You've already spoken passionately, you've already done it, and we're going to take away any fears. You have no question in my mind.
Speaker 2:So the important thing is, though if you want to succeed in business, if you want to promote a cause that's important to you think about a cause that's important to you Okay. If you want to promote that cause, you're going to have to learn to speak on it. Okay, if you want to promote that cause, you're going to have to learn to speak on it. If you want to do well in any philanthropic thing, even being a great parent, whatever you're going to need to learn to do this. Okay. It's absolutely critical if you want to succeed, and that's why I'm so passionate about helping people book and blow the doors off their own TEDx talk, because it can help you in every way possible. It can help you with your own self-esteem, with feeling good about yourself. It can help you promote that cause that's important to you to the world. It gives you a voice. You're no longer just a whisper in the wind. You now are the wind. If you want to sell a product better, tedx Talk can help you do that. Even though you can't sell from the stage, you become the expert on it. If you want to do better in your business, in your industry, in your coaching, you're an author. Whatever it is, it makes you an industry expert because you're on stage speaking. So let's talk about that.
Speaker 2:I think it was Jerry Seinfeld that talked about how public speaking is the number one fear in the world, even more so than death. We've all heard that. It's absolutely true. His comment was that means at the funeral, you would rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy. People are that afraid of public speaking, or at least they think they are. Listen to me, listen to me. They think they are, but they're actually not. They just haven't put it in perspective yet.
Speaker 2:Okay, here's the deal. You may not think you're a very passionate person. Maybe you don't scream at the TV when your favorite sports team is playing, or maybe you do. Maybe you didn't cry when old Yeller died, or maybe you're so young you don't even know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2:But the truth is you can speak passionately. In fact, you have done so before. If you question whether or not you have spoken passionately before, just ask your children. Odds are, if you have children, you have spoken passionately at some point in your life. I know I have several times. If you don't have children, if you've ever been in a relationship several times, if you don't have children, if you've ever been in a relationship, odds are you've spoken passionately.
Speaker 2:If you've ever been pissed off and let somebody know it, you have spoken passionately and you had no calms about it, did you Not at all? What's the difference? See, the difference is when we think about public speaking, we think about going up on that stage, and we get nervous and we get concerned and we feel like they're going to judge us. We're worried that we're going to screw up, we're not going to remember what we wanted to say, we're going to get stage fright. We're going to forget the point where we wanted to get across. We're not going to come across. Well, everybody's going to hate me, it's going to be horrible, and we fail before we even succeed. We fail before we even make that first step.
Speaker 2:Now, what's the difference between when you did that, before you went up on stage, or before you had that discussion with your children? Because when you were having that discussion with your children, you didn't care if you were going to say the right words or not, did you? You didn't care if you forgot the exact points. You didn't care if they were judging you or not. You didn't care about anything, except for you had a point and you were going to get it across to them and they were going to take action on it. Right? You had a point, you were going to get it across to them one way or the other and they were going to take action on it. Right, you had a point, you were going to get it across to them one way or the other and they were going to take action on it. Are you with me?
Speaker 1:Are you with me on this one?
Speaker 2:Do you see, if you take that attitude before you do whatever public speaking, it's going to make all the difference in the world. You've got something to say. You don't care if it comes across perfectly or not. All you care about is that they take action on it. Right, think about it. It's exactly true, right, and that's what you need to do here. That's one of the biggest things to get past right now for your public speaking is that it's no longer about you. People come to me and they go. I want you to teach me how to become a great public speaker and I tell them I can't do that.
Speaker 2:Now I know every coach out there says, yes, I can make you a great public speaker, and you're already failing before you take the first step because you're worried about being a great public speaker. And that's not the point. The point is you've got some information you wanted to get across to people and you want them to take action on it. Right, that's the point. And if you do that, you're a great public speaker, or at least you get the results that you want, and I guarantee you that means you will be a great public speaker because you're getting the results. It's not about how cool you look, it's not about how cool you come across, about how amazing you are, or anything like that. If I step off the stage and people go, wow, you're really amazing, that was fantastic, but this just isn't for me, or whatever, then I failed miserably because I made it all about me. Don't make it all about you. It shouldn't be all about you. If you're worried about being nervous about saying the right things, how the audience is going to feel about you, how you come across, all that you're making it about you and you're failing already. So cut it out. Now I've heard other people say it's not about you, it's about the audience, and I'm not going to agree with that either, because to me, it's not about the audience, it's not about them. I'm sorry, but it's not about the audience. It's about the thing that I want to get across. If I'm doing a speech about some philanthropic project that I'm a part of or that I want to push forward, it's about them, it's about those people, it's about those animals, it's about that geographic location, it's about the environment, whatever it is. It's all about that. If I go in my head before I go up on stage, if I have in my head the audience, I'm not serving those other people Before I get up on stage. I'm not serving those other people. Before I get up on stage, I have in my head about the people that I want to serve. Let's think about that. Let's go there right now. Let's say you've got some philanthropic cause that you want to push forward, that you want to help out with. You want to get the audience to take action on, which is the most important. You can do so much If you can get 10 other people doing it. That's 10 times the effort. 100 people. That's 100 times the effort 1,000 people. You get it Okay.
Speaker 2:So I want you to think right now about a philanthropic cause that's important to you, be it people, animals, the environment. Think about it Now. What I want you to do right now is I want you to picture those people, those animals, that environment, whatever it is. If they don't get your help, if they don't get your help, what happens? Do those children starve? Do people continue to kill each other? Do those animals that are so full of love and cannot understand why people are being mean to them? Do they die a hopeless, hopeless death? Or the environment? Do we lose our planet and everybody and everything with it?
Speaker 1:Think about it.
Speaker 2:Go there, is that okay? Is that okay? If you've really done this, then you're feeling the emotion right now that you should be feeling. You should be getting a little bit pumped up, maybe a little bit pissed off, but certainly motivated that no, that's not okay. That's not okay and I need to do something about it. Feel that right now, embrace it Now.
Speaker 2:If you're embracing that, you're taking a huge step towards getting over any fear of public speaking, because it's not about you, it's not about how insecure you are, about what happened that morning, about how you're feeling or whatever it's. If you don't get up there and sway the audience, those people are going to die, those animals are going to die, whatever it is. Now, that should get you going. Now let's go the other part and what I'm doing here. If you're familiar with the ox cart technique, that's exactly what we're doing here. Now I want you to visualize that same cause, those same people, the same children, the same animals, the environment, whatever it is. I want you to visualize them again because they're getting the help, because they got the help that you want them to get. Picture them getting that help. Go there. Go there in your mind right now. They're actually getting that help, they're getting that love, they're getting that food, they're getting that warmth. The planet's able to heal itself, whatever it may be. How does that feel? Is that worth it? Is that worth you getting past any misgivings you have? Stop making it about you, make it about them. Do you see how powerful that is, how amazingly powerful that is to go in with that attitude, that thought projection, before you even get up on stage? It's going to be a whole different talk, isn't it? Because it's not about you. It's not about people loving you or you said just the right things and everybody stood up and gave you a standing ovation and you feel the love. It's not about that. Even if we're talking a business, a product, a service, hopefully you feel the same way about that that you would about a philanthropic cause or you're in the wrong business, right? If you've got a product that you're talking about, what happens if those people don't get that product? They get somebody else's crappy product or no product at all. Or if they don't get your service, what happens to them? They get somebody else's crappy service at too high of a price or not that service at all.
Speaker 2:Take a look at it from the emotional standpoint because, listen, people make buying decisions based on emotion Hopefully you've heard that and emotion, not fact. Listen, emotion, not fact, is the driver of all action. Let me say this again Emotion, not fact, is the driver of all action. So your whole job is to create that emotion within them. That's a whole different podcast that I'll do. That's all part of my training that I do, the viral stage training. It's all in there to help you develop the best TEDx talk you can possibly make to get people to understand what you're saying and, more importantly, take action on it.
Speaker 2:But you want to develop that emotion and it starts with you. If you're not emotional about it, neither are they you. If you're not emotional about it, neither are they. If you're emotional about it, they will be too. And it doesn't matter the words you say because, listen, people will not remember hardly a word you said. So if you get the word screwed up, it doesn't matter. They won't remember what you said five minutes after you get off the stage, but they will remember forever the way you made them feel. See, if you look at it from that standpoint, we take a lot of the details out of it. It's no longer going to be about. Well, do I raise my voice here, lower my voice there? You know the intonation. Do I walk to the right, walk to the left? You know all those kind of little tricks. You know what, if you've got enough emotion going on, so will they.
Speaker 2:When Martin Luther King Jr stood up and shared with everybody, I have a dream. He didn't walk around the stage, he stood there behind the podium, but he shared his dream and actually, if you listen to that speech closely, he messed up during it. Does anybody remember? No, most of the millions and millions and millions and millions of people who've heard that speech still haven't heard that, still didn't notice it, because they're too busy feeling the emotion. So it's not about you, it's about the cause.
Speaker 2:If you develop that emotion inside yourself enough, then it'll develop the emotion in them. You'll get past any sort of fear, self-doubts, worries, what I ate for breakfast that morning, whatever it might be, because you don't care, because you need to get up there and help those people, help those animals, help the environment, help whatever it is. Is that helpful? Okay, now that's how to get past any of that and how to feel powerful because you mean it. It's nothing fake, not contrived. You mean it and they will too.
Speaker 2:But let me tell you one more trick of the trade that I use every single time before I speak, before I do a podcast, before I make a phone call, before I do pretty much anything where I need to feel the most powerful I've ever been in my life. Would that be of interest to you? Would you like to learn that? I've even taught this at the MBA level. It's a fantastic trick and I've taught different places around the world, but it all started at Squadron Officers School. Okay, squadron Officers School is all of the top captains in the Air Force. They bring us together for several weeks of intense military training and it's going to be, of course, warfare, leadership and public speaking. Part of it was public speaking and our job was to pick some military we'll say hero, somebody we really, really liked, and come up with three different talks that we're going to give in front of our flight. Now I chose General Blood and Guts Patton, george Patton, as mine.
Speaker 2:Now I've got to tell you about one of my buddies in my flight Captain Scott. Captain Scott was one of the funniest people I've ever met in my life. This guy was hilarious man, but he was also a bit of a troublemaker, because we've been there on our flight. That's about a dozen captains, we've had our flight lead up there. Who's leading us through all of this? And this is serious stuff, man. This is warfare, nuclear warfare. This is serious stuff.
Speaker 2:And Captain Scott would be sitting beside me at the conference room table and under his breath he'd be muttering these wisecracks. And I've got my head down just trying to not let anybody see me laughing my butt off. My face is going red. I know my shoulders are going up and down because I'm laughing so hard underneath my breath there. But that's what Captain Scott did. Now on speech day I got up and I did my thing because it's just kind of what I do, right, and I did. We went fine and I got back down.
Speaker 2:Now here comes Captain Scott. Baby, it's his turn. I'm like, oh my God, put your tray tables up, put your seat backs in the upright position. Here comes Captain Scott, but I noticed something as he's getting up he's looking down at the ground. He's kind of shuffling up to the front of the room, not looking at anybody. He's more looking down at that stack of three by five cards in his hand, a stack of them. And the weird thing was going on with that stack of three by five cards. They were vibrating because he was shaking so hard and he got up front and he started talking about something. I don't even know what it was. Neither did anybody else. I'm not sure if he did or not. He might have, but I don't know if he finished his talk or just at one point stopped talking and just shuffled on back down. Wow, he was so nervous. I was waiting for the little trickle of pee to go down the front of his flight suit. I'm sorry if that's crude, but it's the God's honest truth. Wow.
Speaker 2:So he came up to me outside the barracks that night and he said Terry, can you help me? I said, well, yeah, I can. Yeah, absolutely Happy to man, and I worked with him for 15 minutes. 15 minutes, that's all. It is 15 minutes.
Speaker 2:Now, fast forward a few days later, time for round two of the talks. I got up there, I did my thing. Now, oh geez, here comes Captain Scott. Oh geez, here comes Captain Scott. Oh boy, now they call on him and I'm like, oh, here we go. But I noticed something. When he stands up, he's looking around at the crowd. Man, he's got this intense look in his eyes, this joyous look, this look like he could take on the flipping world. He's got a three by five card in his hands, one, that's all. That sucker's rock solid. And he goes up to the front, still looking at the crowd in the eyes, and he delivers, not just finishes talk, he delivers it. Man, he was good and he sat back down and we were all just blown away. Would you like to hear the trick that I taught Captain Scott? I hope you say yes, because we'll see you later.
Speaker 2:Turn off the podcast right now, because that's what we're going to do. Okay, here we go. Here's what I did. I simply asked him what is the most powerful you've ever felt in your life? What's the most powerful you've ever felt in your life? Now, he did what most people do when I ask them that question. Oh well, you know, I don't know. There's been several times, I guess you know. First of all, it is amazing to me how, if I were to ask you what the worst time in your life was, you'd be able to answer me probably immediately, just like that. You'd know what the worst time in your life was. If I ask you what the best time, the most powerful time, is, you're going to have trouble doing it. Funny how we fixate on those bad times and not the good ones, isn't it? Different podcast, different recording. Now then the next thing he did is well, you know, there's been a few. There's been a few, which is fantastic, but we need to narrow it down to the one, the one. So that's what I did with them. Okay, narrow it down to one time.
Speaker 2:Now, understand, the Captain Scott was an electronic warfare officer on a nuclear-equipped B-52 bomber. Each one of these birds, fully loaded, is approximately the sixth most powerful nation on the face of the earth. And he was an electronic warfare officer on this sucker. So he's seen some things, he's done some things, he's accomplished a few things along the way. So what was Captain Scott's thing? Get this. It was a softball game. A softball game it was a squadron softball game where he happened to hit the game-winning home run. That's what it was and that's what it was so fantastic. Let's go with it. And we're telling this back around to you in just a second here.
Speaker 2:So what did I do with Scott? I got him into that moment again. I said, oh my gosh, that's fantastic. I got excited with him. Right, tell me about that. And a lot of times when I'm working with somebody, they just kind of go well, they gloss it over. No, no, no, no, get there, be there, describe the exact instant when that ball hit that bat. Did you know? Well, yeah, I kind of. Did you know? As soon as it hit, I knew I'd hit it really hard and it's sailing off. Well, yeah, I felt pretty good. And he starts going into it. I said, okay, you're going around the bases. Are people cheering? They're freaking out. Man, the first base coach high five. Second base high five. Everybody's cheering. I come into home base. Everybody's waiting for me. We're jumping up and down, everybody's screaming. I said, scott, how do you feel right now he goes? I feel fantastic, you feel powerful. I feel powerful.
Speaker 2:That's it. See, all too often, before we go up on stage, we don't feel powerful, we feel the opposite of it. We're scared to death. We're worried we're going to screw up. We're worried they're going to judge us. We're worried we're not going to get our point across. We're not going to come across the best that we could. That's what we're worried about. So, therefore, that's who we are going up there that scared, insecure, unsure person. Are we going to sway an audience like that? No, because the emotion that we're projecting is not the emotion we want them to receive, right? Instead, when Scott went up for that next speech, he wasn't that scared guy in the flight suit. He was the guy that just hit that game-winning home run, and you could see it in his eyes because when he was looking at the audience, he was looking at his teammates cheering him on. That's what he did.
Speaker 2:So for you, for you listening on right now, what is the most powerful you've ever been in your life? What is that time? Think about it. Narrow it down to one Now. If you're having trouble doing that, that's okay. You can come back to this and do it later, but if you're able to do it, let's do it right now. What is the most powerful you've ever been in your life? Last one I worked with is when he got his first child. We went to holding that child in his arms, how it felt, with his background, everything he'd been through. How did that feel? Now, imagine going up on that stage after you've just held your first child in your arms after a very, very long, complicated pregnancy. What's yours? I want you to go there. I want you to see the sights. I want you to smell there. I want you to see the sights. I want you to smell it, I want you to hear it. I want you to be there Now. How do you feel? Sometimes your first time, it takes a little while to get there. Me, I do it in 30 seconds, 15 seconds. Every time before I go up on stage I go back to my own, which gets revised over time. Mine is now a speech that I gave there.
Speaker 2:I was NCO, a non-commissioned officer appointment ceremony at Fairchild Air Force Base. Because I'd been up front so many times, they asked me to be the speaker at this thing. I've got a row full of colonels, full bird colonels, in front of me. If you don't know what that means when a full bird kernel walks into your building, the entire building comes to attention. Okay, and I had a whole row of them right in front of me and I'm looking them in the eyes and I'm staring them down and I'll never forget pointing my finger right towards, towards the chest of one of those kernels and going and that's dedication. And they were looking back at me like, oh, my God, see, I'm getting back in state again right now just by doing that again, because it felt so powerful. So the next time and by the way, if you watch me before I go on stage, you'll notice I'm not even in the room Now, I'm standing right there but mentally I'm in that other room, the most powerful I've ever felt in my life. So I'm standing right there, but mentally I'm in that other room, the most powerful I've ever felt in my life. So I can go up there and feel that way.
Speaker 2:So the next time you get up to speak in front of anybody, to give that speech at Rotary, to make that phone call, to talk to a board of directors, to go for that promotion, that raise, or to give your own TEDx talk, so you can make your world, your idea, go around the world. And, by the way, before I close, I want to say this If you've been thinking about giving a TEDx talk, but not sure if you've got the right subject, go to ideascoreai. Ideascoreai it's an AI that I built that'll take your idea and actually let you know if it's ready for a TEDx stage and if it's not quite, it'll be honest with you. It'll be totally honest with you. Good or bad, it'll be honest with you. But it's going to give you five other ideas of how you could tweak that message to make it. Give it the best chance for getting on a stage and actually making a difference, getting on a stage and actually making a difference and then it'll give you more information on a program that I've put together to help you do exactly that. That. I've written some AIs that are unlike any other AIs or any other program in existence. It's way above anything else out there. If you want to just go straight to that webinar, it's theviralstageinfocom, theviralstageinfocom, theviralstageinfocom Again, that was Ideascoreai for the AI. Again, completely proprietary. This ain't just no regular chat GPT thing. And then TheViralStageInfocom to get information on the entire thing.
Speaker 2:But listen, number one, you have the power of the human voice and there's nothing more powerful in the entire world than the power of the human voice. It has the ability to tear people down or build people up. It has the ability to start wars and end them. It has the ability to make apparent miracles happen because of the power of the human voice. And you possess that power. You also possess the power to speak passionately. It's already inside of you. You've probably already done it. If you have children or been in a relationship or been pissed off about anything, you've already done it. You have children or been in a relationship or been pissed off about anything. You've already done it. Now you just need to funnel that appropriately so you can make that difference in the world that you want to make.
Speaker 2:Because I also want to say you have an idea in you.
Speaker 2:I know you do Think about it. Do you have an idea you'd love to get across to the world? Do you Think about it? I bet you do. You have an idea and the world does need to hear that idea. It's not about you. It's not about you being afraid. It's not about the audience that will or will not hear it or anything like that, or how they'll react to it.
Speaker 2:It's about getting that idea out to the world because if you think it's a good idea, odds are it's a pretty good idea. Odds are it can make a difference in the world. Odds are it can make a difference in somebody's life, in the life of those animals, in the life of the environment, in the life of whatever it is you're thinking about. It can make a difference in the world and it deserves to be heard. The only reason that idea has not gotten out to the world is because you have held it back. Ooh, that's pretty bold, isn't it? Think about that.
Speaker 2:The only reason that idea hasn't gotten out to the world is because you have held it back. It's time to stop holding it back. There are people out there who are begging for your idea because it could make a significant difference in their lives. Don't hold it back from them. There are animals out there that need that idea, that need that thought, that need that saving. Don't hold it back. The environment needs your idea. Certain geographical locations, whatever it is. There are people out there and things out there that need your idea. Stop holding it back. You have the power of the human voice. You yourself absolutely have the power to make a difference in the world. You absolutely do. Now it's time to step out there with any faith at all.
