Visible & Invisible Disabilities and Neurodivergence
Have you ever been caught in a negative thought spiral gearing up for a presentation?
We know how it feels!
Taylor Bikowski (Global Co-chair of the Mental Health and Neurodiversity DEI Community) will join us to share their experience navigating public speaking anxiety. During this conversation, Taylor will share some tools that helped them overcome these situations and silence that inner voice that kept going over and over that “mistake” that — most likely — no one else noticed.
During this chat, we’ll talk about:
- Tips to feel comfortable and secure speaking publicly
- How to navigate performance anxiety
- Advice on how to embrace and move over your mistakes
