Public speaking isn’t scary because you’re bad at it. It’s scary because your brain is wired for safety, and an audience can feel like a threat. In this episode of the 52 Weeks Podcast, speaking coach Leslie Fiorenzo explains why fear often starts with something as small as a comment from childhood and how confidence can be rebuilt with practice. She walks through her STEPS framework, sharing how to quiet your inner critic, identify obstacles before they derail you, bring energy into the room, and prime your presence with breathwork, mantras, and posture in the moments before you speak. Leslie also explains why stories matter more than facts alone and how intentional preparation can change the way you show up not just on stage, but in meetings, conversations, and everyday leadership moments.

Weekly Challenge:
Choose a breathing technique, a mantra, and a power pose, and practice them before your next speaking moment.

Most people start the year convinced this time will be different. And then somewhere around mid-January, motivation fades, routines slip, and goals quietly fall away, a moment often referred to as Quitter’s Day. In this episode of the 52 Weeks Podcast, goal-setting and courage coach Telana Simpson explains why goals don’t fail because of laziness or lack of discipline, but because they’re unclear, borrowed, or disconnected from a deeper intention. She shares how reflection, clarity, and turning lessons into simple personal guidelines can help goals last well beyond January and become meaningful, sustainable change.Here is a free workbook to guide you through this powerful exercise:https://www.innercoaching.co.za/review/
