We've all been there. Maybe you fumbled a line in a presentation. Or tripped on a shoelace. Or suffered a bad hair day. It can feel like the whole world is watching you—and judging you—in those embarrassing moments. But are people paying as much attention to you as you think?In this episode of Choiceology with <a href="https://www.katymilkman.com/">Katy Milkman</a>, we explore why we tend to blow our own missteps out of proportion.We go behind the scenes of some of the most consequential speeches of World War II. Speeches given by a man who was consumed with fear about how his stutter would be received by the public. Author and historian <a href="https://www.adrianphillips.co.uk/">Adrian Phillips</a> gives us new insights about King George VI's struggles with his diction and the effect his addresses had on the people of Great Britain during the darkest days of the war.We also hear from <a href="https://www.duq.edu/faculty-and-staff/seth-tichenor.php">Seth Tichenor</a>, an assistant professor and program director at the <a href="https://www.duq.edu/academics/colleges-and-schools/health-sciences/academic-programs/speech-language-pathology/speech-language-hearing-clinic/stuttering-clinic.php">Duquesne University Stuttering Clinic</a>, who helps us understand what it's like to navigate a public role with a stutter.Finally, Katy speaks with Cornell psychologist <a href="https://psychology.cornell.edu/thomas-d-gilovich">Tom Gilovich</a> about how he and his fellow researchers demonstrated that—more often than not—our mistakes and foibles barely register with those around us.<a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/choiceology">Choiceology</a> is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.
