Passionate About Helping Others Overcome Social Anxiety and the Fear of Public Speaking
Stephen M.R. Covey once dropped a gem: "Smart people see mistakes as opportunities to improve; they become experts in learning from them." It's a truth bomb that hits home for me, especially when I think about how the Fedderson Formula came to be.
​
Picture this: speech after speech, presentation after presentation, I faced a tsunami of sweat, anxiety, stuttering, rambling, slide overload, you name it. It was like a crash course in public speaking fails. But guess what? Out of that chaos emerged something incredible.
​
I'm Stuart Fedderson, the brains behind the Anti-Social Social Enthusiast movement. Yep, you read that right.
​
Social anxiety and self-confidence issues? I've been there since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Even though I didn't get an official diagnosis until adulthood, I always knew something was off about how I handled social situations. The only way out? Dive headfirst into discomfort and confront those fears like a boss.
​
From a young age, I crafted my own survival guide for navigating anxiety. It led me straight into the world of public speaking and social presence. Bit by bit, I conquered my insecurities, turning exposure therapy into my secret weapon.
​
Enter my "AWESOMENESS RESEARCH" journal – yeah, I was that kid. High school, college, career – I was on a mission to decode the secrets of great speakers and social skills. And guess what? It worked.
​
Here's the scoop: every killer public speaker and conversationalist knows themselves inside and out. It's about owning your uniqueness and rocking it on stage. That's the core of what I teach.
​
My seminars and online courses? They're a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, social skills, or the fear of public speaking. But hey, even if you just want to level up your social game, you're in the right place.
​
I've distilled years of blood, sweat, and tears into a formula that's about more than just wowing an audience – it's about transforming yourself along the way.
​
Full disclosure: the battle with social anxiety and self-confidence? Still ongoing. But I've learned to flip the script. Now, I harness that nervous energy to connect, inspire, and, dare I say it, thrive. So, who's ready to join me on this ride?
