What the Quiz Reveals

The Four patterns and which one is yours.

Most speaking advice treats fear like a general problem, but it isn't.

There are four distinct patterns underneath speaking anxiety and each of them have different roots, symptoms, and paths forward.

This quiz tells you which one has been keeping you stuck.

The Over-Preparer

You rehearse until the script has a script and still walk in terrified. The preparation never feels like enough.

The Rusher

You start speaking and suddenly you're three sentences ahead of where you should be, racing to get out of the spotlight.

The One Who Holds Back

The idea is there. You know exactly what you want to say. And you stay quiet anyway every single time.

The Inner Critic

You speak and then the replay begins. You pick apart every word, every pause, and carry the dread into the next moment.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Lynn Kirkham has spent 17 years watching brilliant people stay stuck because they were solving the wrong problem.

Lynn is the founder of Yes You Can Speak and the creator of CORE Repatterning™, a trauma-informed method that releases the nervous system patterns driving speaking fear, often in as little as four sessions.

She knows these four patterns intimately, and The One Who Holds Back used to be her. She paid colleagues to speak on her behalf, stood at the back of every room, and spent years building the most efficient protection system ever.

For over a decade, she tried it all: classes, coaches, mindset work, but nothing actually worked for more than a week or two until she found the specific pattern underlying the fear and addressed it at its root.

The wonderful thing is that her biggest challenge in life became her superpower, and because of that, along with her unique methodology, over 98% of her clients experience real, lasting change and a sense of genuine freedom.
