As well as facilitating Superconscious I work in the arts – documentary mostly. At the beginning of March 2020 I went to the AIDC (Australian International Documentary Conference). I have a documentary, The Oh Gap, that I am producing, directing and writing that was selected to pitch to a selection of network heads from around the world. We had a training day where the 15 projects selected got a chance to practise. I was so nervous to get up in front of my peers and pitch the project. My speech was too long and I had a prop that was a giant golden clitoris. I gave the practise speech and it felt as if I had a high amount of voltage in my body. I was speaking too fast and I felt that my voice may shake. It didn’t bode well for the big pitch a few days later. A speech that was meant to inspire people to hand over hundreds of thousands of dollars toward the project. 

Back at my accomodation I choose to begin to practise the techniques I share with others. I used self hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Techniques, meditation and self enquiry to transform my nervousness into excitement. I also chose a reframe. I reminded myself these people want great stories, I have great stories, we are on the same team, with the same goal. I did the practical measure of cutting my speech in half and then I used visualisation to imagine what I wanted to create – an inspiring, confident, rousing speech. 

On the day of the speech I still had about a 4/10 nervousness in my stomach. I did some tapping and within two minutes it was completely gone. I was really happy with how it went and we got several sales agents and broadcasters interested. It is a very exciting time.
