When Lucy Bloom made her first speech to an audience (some 20 years ago) she was scared sh*tless. Everything in her told her she couldn't do it. Time to give up right? Wrong.
In her own words, Lucy "followed her fear" and has since gone on to become one of Australia's most prominent public speakers. She books out rooms with hundreds of people every week. She's also written 3 books, founded a production company and lead a not-for-profit in Ethiopia (just to name a few). But none of this would have been possible if Lucy had given up when she first started out.
On the show today Lucy shares exactly how she learnt to find her voice, crafted her personal brand, built self-confidence and pretty much took over the world.
