Ever rehearsed your big idea 10 times before the meeting, only to say nothing when the moment came? You're not alone. In this episode of Unlocked, we tackle that stomach-dropping, heart-racing moment before you speak up. We’re talking about communication anxiety, why it shows up in the boardroom, Zoom call, or brainstorming session and how to lead your brain instead of letting it lead you. You'll learn the science behind that panic spiral, why overpreparing might be anxiety in disguise, and how to reframe nervousness as a strength (yes, science says you can do that!). If you’ve ever thought “What if I sound dumb?” or “What if they secretly hate me?”… This episode is your nervous system’s new favorite pep talk. This one’s for every leader who cares deeply and just needs a nudge to speak up anyway. Website: skotwaldron.com
