The opportunity to attend Keith’s seminar came like a bolt from the blue. I knew that I had to confront this fear but I wasn’t really thinking about how or when. The call came through a friend of a friend who knew about the ‘Cyprus Incident’ and thought of me. I’m now wondering if there […]
Fear of flying or Fear of being on the Radio? I had great fun the other day being interviewed by Jim Cathcart on Radio Guernsey. Even though I’ve done a lot of public speaking and quite a few radio interviews I still get nervous. And though I’m used to answering questions, and most of them […]
