Stepping Outside of Your Comfort Zone with Lindsay Newitter

Do you find that you don't feel as confident as you'd like if you have to give a talk, teach a class, meet new people, or navigate group social situations? We hear a lot about the fear of public speaking, but anxiety is also common in other situations when we have to interact with people. Fear and discomfort can take over and even lead us to avoid certain contexts altogether.

In this workshop the focus will be on the feelings that come up when we feel hesitant and insecure when interacting with others. Lindsay will provide fun, AT-based strategies for how we can challenge these patterns and mindsets and feel more confident when teaching, in meetings, and when giving presentations. We will explore how to stay grounded and present with ourselves in social situations when we feel insecure, on the spot, or have to think on our feet.
