In this brief coaching video, Natalie Fisher addresses the common discomfort of talking about oneself in interviews or similar settings. She proposes a mental shift: instead of viewing self‑presentation as self‑centered, treat it as an opportunity to discuss the problems you aim to solve and how your experience benefits the audience. By framing personal anecdotes in terms of the listener’s needs and potential resonance, the speaker can feel more comfortable and make the conversation more relevant. The advice is presented in a conversational, supportive tone, encouraging viewers to adopt this audience‑centric perspective.

If you've ever had the thought, I don't like talking about myself in interviews, for example, or anywhere, it's like, I don't like talking about myself. Think about it this way. It's not about you. It's about the problems that you want to solve, about the things you want to do, and that benefits them. Okay, so it's like, yes, when I talk about myself, I'm actually thinking about how it relates to you, how you can actually, um, how you can relate, how you can resonate, right? So I'm talking— I might be talking about myself, but I'm thinking about you, so it feels a little different. Hopefully that makes sense.
