From Reluctance to Confidence: Mastering the Art of Public Speaking

Gary Chubik, mental performance coach to pro athletes and organizations like the FBI, shares his journey from a shy, reluctant speaker to a confident professional communicator with practical frameworks anyone can use.

• Building self-trust is essential for confident communication
• The "Me-We-Topic-You-Us" framework provides a simple structure for effective presentations
• Preparation and proving skills to yourself creates genuine confidence
• The CAPE method (Control, Assess, Plan, Execute) helps manage high-pressure situations
• Focus on communicating one or two key points rather than overwhelming your audience
• Find the optimal level of emotional engagement using the Yerkes-Dodson scale
• Parent with emotion, not emotionally, for more effective communication with children
