27. Beyond the Theory: Teaching Your Body to Feel Safe in English

29. Before you speak up, reinvent yourself

I completely understand that learning to speak up can be challenging. There was a point when I thought I was too much of everything: “too shy,” “too strict,” “too serious,” “too emotional,” “too by the book”… The only thing those traits have in common is that they are traits people don’t want to have, at least at a societal level. Here, I share four things that helped me navigate and develop my personality in ways I never thought possible, and how I was able to move from shyness to public speaking.
