Enna Khan has worked for Amazon, John Lewis and Knight Frank. She is a customer experience expert and co chair of race and faith. Her love for helping people to become confident speakers stems from her experiences in business. For years, she went into presentations without a formula, without practice and without confidence. Whilst she was able to navigate her way up the career ladder, there was always a feeling of being able to achieve more. And when working in an environment where mostly men were making the decisions and she realised that strong communication was way to influence and engage her audience. She decided to change things, and with a mentor, took part in public speaking at every opportunity, a type of exposure therapy. She then started her own public speaking business has coached several people at all levels with a focus on corporate environments.Connect with Enna:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/shinebrightspeaking/Subscribe to the podcast on youtube or anywhere you like to listen to podcasts.Connect with me: website - https://www.suzanakalcic.com youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/suzanakalcicinstagram - https://www.instagram.com/suzanakalcicfacebook - https://www.facebook.com/suzanakalcicpodcastPodcast music - song ‘Pete’s Web’ by The Fontanas - https://www.thefontanas.co.uk  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Gilli was attacked in a taxi in her mid-20s and subsequently developed agoraphobia and social phobia. She could no longer work in an office with other people and had to leave the media career she loved. She continued to struggle with agoraphobia for years until she discovered TFT (Thought Field Therapy) a process developed by Psychologist Roger Callaghan in 1985. In just two short sessions she was finally released from the prison of fear. Over the years she has explored many more processes and techniques to help resolve negative mind states and difficult emotions. All this research was very useful for her when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and she recently celebrated 10 years cancer free. Gilli uses the knowledge gained from her own experiences in her work as an EFT Practitioner, specialising in anxiety, infertility and sexual issues. These days she is calm and happy most of the time and wants to show that anxiety can be overcome and doesn't have to be a life sentence.
