The odds are… you're afraid of public speaking.

And if not, you've definitely cringed through enough presentations to know it's a real struggle for many.

In this episode of SEEKERS, we speak with Dr. Alexander McWilliam - actor, coach, and one of the few people in the world with a PhD in public speaking anxiety. He’s also the founder of Improv4Business, where he uses improvisation and performance psychology to help people become confident, engaging communicators.

We talk about:

  • Why public speaking makes people panic—and how to rewire that fear
  • What most people get wrong about delivering a message
  • The power of voice, body, and presence
  • How improv techniques can transform how you speak
  • Why storytelling matters, even in boring meetings
  • And whether “fake it till you make it” actually works

Whether you're pitching investors, leading meetings, or just want to stop dreading Zoom calls - this episode is for you.
