Key Takeaways: 

“The fears are there for a reason, and they're very powerful. They're really linked to an ancient part of our brain. And that part of our brain is there to try and protect us. So, if we let this ancient part of our brain perceive this threat as quite a large threat, then ultimately it is going to stop us from going out there and presenting and speaking. So, you know, we need to retrain that part of our brain that speaking, presenting, isn't that dangerous.” - Tom Bailey 

“The person needs to be the face, the voice, and the authority at the forefront of that content, instead of posting other people's content as your core offering.”  - Tom Bailey 

“Whether you're speaking or presenting, whether you're on video on the podcast, you need to get clear on what message you're putting in front of your market so that it resonates with that market.”  - Tom Bailey 

“I always say that the person stood in front of the room is usually the one seen as the expert. So that's where you need to position yourself to really help you raise your profile in your industry.”  - Tom Bailey
