Raise your hand if you've ever been afraid to, well, raise your hand!

Did you know that public speaking tops death as the number one fear by the average person?
If you've ever been mortified at the thought of giving a speech, you probably know what we're talking about. That knot that tightens in your stomach as the rest of you goes numb and breaks into a panicky sweat. The only thing that you can think about is getting out of the speech as fast as possible! Well, sometimes, we cannot flee from presentations. It could cost us our livelihoods and the health of our businesses.
So what can you do to stamp out your fears?
To start, you can join us for Shameless Self Promotion. Our own shy-turned-shameless guru, Tracy A. Corley, will equip you with the tools you need to put your best foot forward and brag about yourself or your business without sounding like a walking sales pitch.
What do we know about Shameless Self Promotion?
So how is Tracy Corley doing exactly those things today?
Tracy took her experience and founded the seminar series, Shameless Self Promotion, to help adult professionals and their organizations overcome the intimidation many typically feel when making a presentation or talking about themselves.

A stroke of genius
When being shameless, understanding how our mind works to either help us or hinder us is important. Our minds and how we use them can be leveraged for control and making choices, the two things that make us human (read Paulo Coehlo or Ralph Waldo Emerson). I found this great presentation about understanding your brain from a neuroanalytical scientist about looking at a stroke from the inside out: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html.

Right and wrong in the shame game
How much does our background influence how shameful or shameless we become? I've met quite a few people who are dealing with some level of shame in their past -- recovering catholics, societies where women can't vote or drive, cities where people of other races or faiths aren't encouraged to intermingle.
I grew up in the Southeast United States, where I was constantly told who I should be, what I should think, how I should feel, and with whom I could associate. Needless to say, I didn't always want to be those things, think that way, feel like that, or associate only with those folks. It caused a lot of confusion. Regardless of what I did, I was constantly "wrong".
When you're shameless, the concepts of right and wrong melt away in reference to your thoughts and feelings. Something that used to be "wrong" is instead viewed as "different". The beauty of being shameless is that you attract people with differences without feeling threatened, intimidated, or wrong. It leads to greater understanding of both yourself and the people around you.
Celebrate being different and unique and stop thinking that you're wrong. No one can bring you peace but yourself, so go ahead and be shameless.

Site Revamp and Shop Expansion
After nearly two years of hemmin' and hawwin', I finally have revamped the Shameless You! web site. The new site is much simpler and uses a blog format to allow for quick posts of Shameless thoughts, ideas, and events. I hope that our shameless fans will post copious comments.In addition to the site revamp, our store at CafePress has been expanded. Our new "Certified Shameless(tm)" line is now ready, with wearables and goodies. I will be rolling out more products as time wears on. Of course, the Introduction to Shameless Self Promotion audio CD is still available for those who want to be on the path to shamelessness in under 30 minutes.
Who knew that the blogger account that I opened in 2005 would finally get some use? I will continue to post Shameless thoughts here at www.shamelessyou.com. In the meanwhile, continue to live shamelessly!
