So, your job or business requires you to speak frequently...
Maybe monthly, weekly or sometimes even daily.
But every time you are about to speak in front of others, you're burdened with the thought that:
"I’m not good enough" and..
"I would never be good enough".
This feeling pushes you to work harder to prepare the best—sometimes at the expense of your SANITY—for any public speaking or presentation.
Not only that..
But you also feel that you have to remain small and unheard in social interactions
...just playing safe and always upholding the image of being ‘good enough’ or portraying a ‘perfect’ persona to convince others that you're good enough so that you could feel good enough.
But the irony is...
No matter how hard you work, the feeling just gets reinforced, further fueling your fear and insecurity thus self-sabotaging your efforts.
You know everyone can see the nervousness and fear in your eyes.
You know... it's ruining your REPUTATION and AUTHORITY at work.
This is exactly what happened to (Z).
She had long-standing struggles with public speaking anxiety. She used to feel anxious about:
- how she would sound and look,
- worrying about being judged by the audience,
- and having a tendency to speak too quickly.
This anxiety affected her both in job performance and when speaking to authority figures like her bosses.
"I want freedom from this feeling of being small and not good enough when speaking in front of others", (Z) said to me.
Reader,
Does any of this ring a bell? 🔔
If yes... this is the exact problem I solved for (Z) and for other clients.
I help them find their VOICE, CONFIDENCE, and AUTHORITY when speaking in front of others:
- 1, 10 or 100 people
- On stage or off stage
- At work or in social situations.
This is what (Z) felt and said after working with me:
"[After working with Waqas], I feel liberated and light, and for the first time in my life, I feel empowered to discard my past belief as far away from me as possible, because that belief does not define me who I am. I feel a new surge of confidence not only in just public speaking but in daily interactions as well. [Waqas] puts a new pair of lenses on me to change how I view myself, and others around me too; this helps me to have more compassion for myself and others."

Anxiety comes in many forms and varying degrees.
