Show Notes
Dr. Margaret and her TEDx speech coach, Brian Miller, talk about challenging the fear of public speaking and the importance of human connection.
"Go out and make a dent in the universe." These are the words I heard from Brian Miller, three years ago, weeks before I was to give my TEDxBocaRaton talk on perfectly hidden depression.
Daring to face the fear of public speaking... But why did I ask Brian to be on SelfWork? Probably not many of you give actual speeches, although some of you might. You may make presentations at work. You may be helping your child with a project they're doing. You may be on a committee where you're leading people.
Or you may avoid those things like the plague.
But you don't have to be. You can go out and make a dent in your own universe.

Today, Dr. Margaret focuses on what "asking for help" in the context of mental health... actually means. So many will tell you that asking for help reflects weakeness. I’d like to challenge that thought. And I’ve got great help from the little book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy.
