Darren Fleming is a behavioural scientist and peak-performance strategist who coaches people to communicate, sell and ask better questions.
The conversation connects public speaking, imposter syndrome and recurring patterns in our lives. Darren’s central idea is that difficult emotions are not problems to suppress or perform for other people; we can experience them, let them pass and respond with more intention.
Episode takeaways#
- Most people experience uncertainty in unfamiliar roles, even when they appear confident from the outside.
- Public speaking matters because good ideas cannot travel if we are unable to communicate them.
- Repeated frustrations can be clues to patterns in our own behaviour, not just evidence that everyone else is at fault.
- Feeling an emotion without suppressing or amplifying it can create space for a calmer response.
