The telephone ☎️ was my nemesis for 20 years and the thought of it ringing set my heart to cardiac arrest. One day I told myself that I need to get over the fear because I'm going to have to use it in the job world 🌎 I bought an office telephone ☎️ on Ebay and I practiced every day for 6 months. I practiced making and receiving calls until it became boring........no more fear, no more anxiety.....I desensitized myself to the fear of using the telephone. Every good coach will tell you that if you want to get good at something, you need to practice......and that's what I did for 6 months every single day. This is hard work BUT we can do it !!!! The cool thing is that I ask all my podcast guests that question and they also have great tips when dealing with the telephone. Good luck!! CHEERS
