    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.
