In the latest episode of The Vibrant Introvert, Debbie Jacob shares a pivotal public speaking experience after many years of avoiding any forms of public speaking. As hard-core introvert, Debbie says she’d spent most of her life very comfortable with quiet and solitude. She rejoiced in activities like writing because she that’s what made HER feel the most in her element.

Over time, as Debbie began to write more, author books, and become an influential advocate for police reform in her Trinidadian community…public speaking opportunities began to flow in despite her best efforts to avoid them at all cost. Though she didn’t ask for those opportunities they came anyway along with her rising passion for working with incarcerated youth in Trinidad’s prison systems.

Listen to how she finally pivoted toward and embraced public speaking opportunities after a pivotal moment giving a commencement speech to a group of Muslim girls. Throughout her story we learn how she utilized some of the processes of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to turn toward these opportunities to speak rather than turn away.

In the episode you can choose to practice your own type of shift by engaging in an exercise with me involving this idea of willingness and connection. In this exercise we practice this idea of “being willingly out of breath” while also connected to a valued speaking opportunity.

Join in on the conversation!
