Why am I scared of public speaking or being on camera?

Dr Grant Murrell, founder of Success Is A Formula

Dr Grant Murrell, founder of Success Is A Formula, speaking with podcast host Aleksandra King on The BEYOND Podcast. Dr Grant Murrell says fear of speaking on stage or on camera is fear of looking silly, and his answer is to make the moment about legacy rather than himself.

Dr Grant Murrell, talking with Aleksandra King, traces the fear of speaking in front of others back to the tribe, where fitting in kept a person alive and being pushed out was the danger. He reads stage fright today as that same instinct at work.

This is not about me; this is about legacy.

Murrell goes on to say he does not care if he stutters, gets a word wrong or sneezes, so long as the information gets out. By that measure the stage belongs to the message and to as many people as it can reach.
