He attributes this fear to a lack of communication skills and the inner voices that affect one's confidence. Cohen emphasizes the importance of focusing on the audience and delivering the message authentically, providing tips such as deep breathing, grounding exercises, and physical activity before speaking to manage nerves. He also stresses the significance of being oneself and avoiding the temptation to perform or adopt a different persona when speaking publicly.

My guest Alan Samuel Cohen talks us through just what shared purpose is...and how magical it can be.

Well into his adulthood, Alan Samuel Cohen heard a family story that shifted his sense of self, his identity. While sitting together at a family dinner with his adult siblings and aging aunts, one of those older women mentioned a specific violent incident that occurred before the family moved to America. She spoke of it clinically, historically, without anger or emotion, though it involved a violent murder that her father, Alan's grandfather, had witnessed. Being Jewish was always part of his identity, but it didn't seem particularly meaningful until that moment. He and his sisters started to ask questions, and learned more about the incident and the events that took place afterward. It was those stories that shifted Alan's perspective about hate, about racism, and about bigotry of every kind. In this episode of Your Stories Don't Define You, Alan and I discussed the story, how it affected him, and how he's showing up differently now, when it comes to racism and hate. --- From his website: "For over three decades Alan Cohen has worked with business leaders as an executive coach, senior marketing professional, and human resources consultant. As a sought-after speaker, author, leadership instructor and executive coach, he has helped and inspired senior-level executives and teams to become more connected to their lives and business goals, resulting in greater performance and highly improved business results." Connect with Alan on LinkedIn, and be sure to order his recently published book. --- Sarah Elkins delights in guiding individuals and teams to improve communication, using storytelling as the foundation of her work. She is a Gallup certified Strengths coach and uses that tool to coach her clients to improve their communication in all relationships, and to find more satisfaction at work and at home. Her book, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is available on bookshop.org (supporting independent booksellers), and on Amazon. The audiobook will be available in fall 2020.
