Wanna be a better public speaker despite your ADHD?

Can you be more brave as an ADHD entrepreneur?

"It was the most mortifying experience of my life. And I'm saying that as a person whose skirt has flown up over her head in front of a bus full of tourists in San Francisco, I would do that every day for the rest of my life before I relived this one experience...." - Katie McManus, Brave Business Coaching

In this episode, I, Katie McManus, share my experience with overcoming my fear of public speaking. I was always scared and lacked confidence growing up, especially when it came to my public speaking duties.


I delve into a couple of personal, painful stories around this.


And I also explain how fears can often hold people back, how they're different for everyone, and how the thing that someone is most afraid of can actually make them successful!

Pedaling to keep up 

People have always told me that I come across as super confident.


If only they saw me when I was a young kid.


We used to take the bicycles out and race down the hill. Well, my friends were racing. I was nervously following behind trying to keep up!


And as I reveal in the episode, the more people who think you're super confident, the more you withdraw with imposter syndrome!


Overcoming the public speaking nightmare


After the ordeal I went through with one of my professors, I knew I'd have to pull out all the stops to overcome that fear of public speaking.


And I did.


I made a point of facing that fear and I invested in my future.


Hopefully after listening to this episode, you'll be able to do the same!


 


This episode that's all about ADHD and being brave, covers:

  • My own struggles with being a weenie

  • My nightmare story about being in the middle of my fear!

  • What I did to overcome that fear.

  • What I'm suggesting you do to overcome your own absolute nightmare scenario!

About the Podcast

The Weeniecast: make more money, create an impact
Money mindset and impact coaching for business owners
I help business owners make more money in less time, so they can create bigger impact.
It doesn't matter what it is, we all have a sense of purpose. We want to leave a legacy.
We want to matter. And the best way of doing that, is to become wealthy.
But the sad reality is a lot of us are stuck in 'weenie' mode. In other words, we make up excuses for why we can't become our brilliant, wealthy selves.
That ends with this podcast.

My name is Katie McManus.
As a CPCC (Certified Professional Co-Active Coach) I know how to help people like you to reach their financial goals, and earn the life they've always dreamed of.

Until quite recently, I described myself as a business strategist and money mindset coach who was focusing on helping business owners with ADHD to get more income from their business.
I've been helping some of them get eleven times the value of their investment back.
And then, I had an epiphany.
I was being a weenie.
Being a business strategist is not the limit of my gifts to the world.
I'm also a political activist, a serial entrepreneur who oversees multiple six figure businesses, and I'm the founder of a non-profit with dreams of helping members of the LGBTQ+ community to find more joy from their lives in a very specific way.
And all of that is being achieved by scaling my business in a way that I don't have to be in it every hour of the day, but still make enough money to work hard on making impact.
Do you also want to learn how you can make more money, in less time, so that you can create impact on your community, or with projects that are important to you?

Want coaching on money mindset, sales advice, and general business growth, but all from the safety and comfort of your own space?

If you're wanting to listen to business strategy and money mindset advice that's specifically targeted to business owners like you who want to achieve BIG things but maybe have some challenges, then "The Weeniecast" is the podcast for YOU.

I will help you understand your own potential for growing a dream business that works without you but still makes seriously life-changing amounts of money.
