If you’ve ever tried to talk about your business and suddenly heard a voice saying…
“Don’t say that.”
“You’re not ready.”
“They’re judging you.”
…that voice has a name.
👉 The Judge.
A concept I first learned from Shirzad Chamine’s research — and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
And as someone who speaks for a living — on stages, in workshops, on video, coaching clients —
he Judge shows up for me too.
Right before I step on stage.
Right before I hit record.
Right before I share something that matters.
It says I need to be perfect. It says people are watching too closely. Itsays one tiny mistake will ruin everything.
But here’s the part that changed everything for me:
💡 Your audience doesn’t judge you nearly as harshly as you judge yourself.
When you stop giving The Judge the microphone, everything changes:
Your message becomes clearer.
Your confidence gets stronger.And people finally hear the real you.
If you want to quiet The Judge and speak with more clarity + confidence…
