In this video, I, Michael Williams, break down why you start speaking too fast or swallow your words the moment nerves kick in. You might feel calm one second—and then as soon as the pressure rises, your mouth races while your thoughts freeze. Why does that happen? It's not just a bad habit. It’s how your brain has learned to handle stressful speaking situations like interviews, meetings, and presentations.
Your nervous system speeds everything up to escape the pressure—but that actually makes things worse. In this video, I explain exactly what's going on inside your brain and how you can retrain it to respond differently. Inside the 18-Day Speech Rewrite Workshop, I’ll show you how to slow your system down, stay calm, and speak smoothly—even when the pressure’s high. Over 40 people are already in. If you’re ready, join us today.
