Do any of these sound familiar?
Your heart races at the thought of presenting
You avoid speaking up in meetings even when you have valuable ideas
You've turned down opportunities because they required public speaking
You've tried "tips and tricks" but still feel anxious
You wonder if you'll ever feel confident speaking
You're not alone.
75% of UK professionals experience public speaking anxiety (YouGov, 2023).
But most advice is based on myths that keep you stuck.
What if the problem isn't you?
After years working with professionals carrying this fear, I've found the same pattern again and again: traditional public speaking training addresses the wrong problem.
Most courses teach technique, where to stand, what to do with your hands, how to project your voice.
But if you're frozen by fear, technique is useless.
The real problem is five persistent myths about what speaking fear actually is.
This free guide tells you what's true instead.
Why listen to me?
I'm Anthea Armar, founder of Amarkai and a specialist in the psychology of public speaking confidence.
Over the last 20+ years in learning and development, I've worked with hundreds of professionals across keynotes, workshops and programmes, including organisations like Network Rail, Google and Asset Finance Connect.
My approach: mindset before technique, psychology before performance.
My framework: A.C.T. (Accept, Create, Transform), addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
What others are saying
Traditional training is important to improve public speaking, but not before addressing the root cause.
"Anthea helped me unlock the confidence within me—not only to speak up in meetings and engage in public speaking when needed but to actively seek out opportunities to do so."
Steven Lynch-Barry, LCT International
"I have to let go of all the negative thoughts and think about what I can do rather than dwelling on things I can’t control."
Amerley Bockett-Pugh, Hampshire
"There is only growth on the other side of fear …. When we get comfortable with that we can move ever forward to becoming who we really are, who we were meant to be before the world taught us otherwise."
Sue Curr, Life Coach
