Everyday Conversation (ONLY)

Are you afraid to speak because you're worried about what others will think about you if you make a mistake? Are you just shy? Let's talk about it. Fear is something most of us have or have had before. I too have had it which is why I want to help you get past it so that it doesn't stop you from reaching your goals. I'm ready to help you break through the borders of FEAR that are holding you back from speaking with the CONFIDENCE hidden within you!
