“JoAnna was the closing speaker at our TEDxMelbourne 2016 event. She delivered the most powerful and passionate talk of the day and ended up with a well deserved standing ovation (hard to do on a TEDx stage).” -Jon Yeo/ Licensee and Curator at TEDx Melbourne

"JJ was a perfect fit for a FCTG conference. Her humour, messaging and direct approach was all spot on. Become, Attract and Create worked beautifully with our theme of shaping the future. What the team and I appreciated most about JJ was just her honest and gritty style which was not only refreshing but captivating. We were delighted to have JJ at our conference, and she exceeded our expectations. It was also wonderful to have her join us and the team for lunch to continue the conversation." - Flight Centre

JJ Ferrari's Transformative Talk on FEAR INTO CONFIDENCE is coming out as a book in 2024 [Finally].

You probably haven't thought about this, but for your entire life you've experienced the fear of people, situations, trying new things, or your own personal favourite fears - And you've survived them all! Most people do.

We don’t think about the fact that the majority of what we feared or worried was going to happen, didn't happen.

As a matter of fact, A research study by Cornell University revealed that about 85% of what people worried about never happened! They also found that when it came to the 15% of worries that did happen, 79% of the time those worries were handled better than people expected, or they learnt something useful from the experience.

I'll start with the bad news. We never get rid of fear, it's one of those things about the human mind we can’t change. On the other hand, the good news is we can learn to work with it, harness it and turn its power to our advantage.

This presentation is about knowing fear, harnessing it and diminishing its power over us. What we don’t like about fear is that it seems huge, looming and uncontrollable and we feel powerless under its reign.

At one point in my life my fears were so strong and overwhelming that I nearly gave up on living completely.

[I'll save you from the gory details], but instead of giving up on life, I found the will inside to get out from under the weight of my fears.

I made a study of my own fears using myself as my experiment and dug into what it felt like fear was doing in my head and life and how it worked. I needed to know if it was like the old acronym says: False Evidence Appearing Real or if it was Actually Real. [I will tell you what I found in my presentation].

For now, let me say I'm glad you found this little introduction and I can tell you your audience's view on fear will change by the end of it.

You can be very powerful if you let this information go to work for you. Just remember as I said earlier, you have already beat your fears many times throughout your life and now it's time to put fear's power to work FOR YOU, instead of against you.
