We think stress management is something speakers do only once they step on stage. But pros start dealing with it weeks, if not months before their keynote.
In this solo episode of The SpeakerPath® Podcast, our Presence and Performance specialist, Ioana (Jo) Jongsma, explores one of the most practical behavioral tools for reducing public-speaking stress: David Rock’s SCARF model.
Originally designed for workplace leadership, SCARF turns out to be a powerful framework for communication and speaking. It highlights the five universal social needs that shape how safe or threatened we feel in any social interaction.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The 5 psychological needs all humans share:
Status – our need to feel important and valued
Certainty – our need to know what is going to happen
Autonomy – our need to feel in control of what is happening
Relatedness – our need to feel familiar with what is happening
Fairness – our need for a just exchange
- The behaviors that professional speakers engage in days, weeks and months in advance, to ensure their SCARF needs are met.
The Speaker Path® Podcast is produced by Clarity Up LLC, a boutique message design firm that teaches smart people how to explain their big ideas to the rest of us.
