Overcoming Job Interview Fears: A Director's Journey with Lynn's Transformative Coaching


A year ago, I found myself at a crossroads, ready to step into a leadership position.

However, despite my years of experience and a list of accomplishments, I was hitting a wall. The job offers I was after seemed elusive, and self-doubt was starting to creep in.

It was like standing at the edge of a vast sea of opportunities, but the fear of public speaking was holding me back. The very thought of speaking in public, especially in job interviews conducted over Zoom, terrified me. I was afraid of stumbling over my words, sounding like a robot, and not making the impact I knew I could.

That's when I decided to take a step back and seek help. I remembered a transformative experience I had five years ago with Lynn's Yes You Can Speak program. It had made a significant impact on my confidence and communication skills back then. So, I decided to return to Lynn for a refresher, hoping to unlock the magic again.

8 Reasons

Lynn didn't just teach me how to speak; she showed me how to connect with myself mindfully.

This, in turn, allowed me to create a genuine connection with my audience, even through the virtual world of Zoom. It was about more than just reciting my achievements – it was about telling my story authentically, from the heart.

The change wasn't in what I said but in how I said it. Lynn's techniques infused energy into my words and sparked a light in my eyes that translated through the screen. It worked like magic.

In the next five job interviews, I landed offers from top companies for director-level positions and received counter-offers from two of them after I initially said no. Even my current employer, the company I was with, offered me the desired position. Staying with them was a fantastic decision, and I couldn't be happier.

Now, when my friends are on the job hunt, I don't hesitate to refer them to Lynn. The results speak for themselves – they've all snagged new jobs within a month or so of completing her training.

Lynn's coaching style is unique. It's not about dry, methodical guidelines; it's about identifying and breaking through the barriers that block our energy. There's nothing quite like the feeling of knowing you can communicate your experiences and contributions effectively to a team.

So here's to conquering the fear of public speaking, unlocking your true potential, and embracing new opportunities with open arms.

I've been where you are.

Trembling at the thought of telling my story.

Horrified to stand in front of a crowd expecting inspiring words.

Afraid to embrace my voice and share my message with the world.
