Abstract
Let us be honest: Making mistakes while communicating is the normality rather than the exception. However, we tend to run away from this inconvenient truth, with consequences. The fear of “messing up” makes us tense, inflexible and distant from the audience exactly when they want to find us relaxed, joyful and receptive. This chapter introduces a way to become comfortable with unexpected deviations during communicating, to go boldly to where the fear is and to establish emotional safety between the speaker and the audience.
