    Ep224 - Building Confidence in Public Speaking with Improv, with Brian McCarthy
    Feb 12 2025
    Public speaking is one of the most common fears, but what if there was a way to make it easier (and even fun)? Improv, the art of spontaneous storytelling, can help you become a more confident speaker by teaching you to think on your feet, embrace the unexpected, and trust yourself in the moment. Whether you’re standing on a big stage, leading a meeting, or introducing yourself at a networking event, learning to roll with the punches can make all the difference. In this episode of The Inside Story Podcast, I sit down with Brian McCarthy, a mindset coach with a love for improv, to talk about how improv techniques can help you become a stronger, more confident speaker. Brian shares his personal journey of overcoming shyness, the lessons improv has taught him, and practical exercises you can try to boost your own confidence in speaking. This was such a fun conversation, and I’d love for you to join me and Brian as we talk about: 🎭 How improv helps you stop overthinking and just start speaking 😨 Breaking down the fear of public speaking—turns out, it’s not as scary as we think! 🛠️ Simple improv exercises you can do at home to improve your speaking skills 🎤 What to do if you freeze up on stage (hint: it’s not the end of the world!) 🤝 Why networking is just another form of improv and how to start conversations with ease 🚀 How getting more practice (a.k.a. “getting in the reps”) will make you unstoppable 😆 A hilarious “gibberish speech” exercise that will change the way you see public speaking forever 🔥 The real secret to confidence: leaning into the unexpected and owning the moment The next time you’re given the chance to share your story—whether on stage, in a meeting, or even just at a dinner party—go for it! Confidence isn’t about being perfect; it’s about trusting yourself and taking the leap. Try some of Brian’s improv-inspired techniques, get those reps in, and watch how much easier it becomes.
