Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode 123: How to master public speaking - psychologist insights

Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.

For those who have received interview offers this year for the DClinPsy, congratulations! You might be feeling nervous around this time and that is okay, perhaps this episode might be helpful to you (and for those who struggle with public speaking!). In this episode of the Aspiring Psychologist podcast, we speak with Assistant Psychologist, Jasmine, as we compare and contrast our experiences of speaking in public, group settings, meetings and the growth, self-care and bravery that comes with it. Join us as we discuss how our experiences shape our work as a psychologist, discuss tips to overcoming fear and anxiety associated with public speaking, and the value of speaking, feedback and self-care.

We hope you find it so useful.

I’d love any feedback you might have, and I’d love to know what your offers are and to be connected with you on socials so I can help you to celebrate your wins!
