![]() PS: On whether or not I practice? Of course, the more prepared you are for your presentation the more comfortable and confident you’ll be. What fear do you currently face? What action aren’t you taking in your business in your life that may be holding you back? Imagine what would have happened if I turned down that first speaking opportunity so many years ago because I gave way to my fear? That’s right, NOTHING would have happened. ![]() One hour flies by like it was 20 minutes. When I told the consultant at the recent event “it feels natural” it’s because when I start the presentation and talk I do feel at ease. And I felt nervous up until the day I delivered it.Įvery talk and presentation I’ve given since has been a joy and pleasure. I felt nervous the day I accepted the company’s offer. It happened again when I gave my first keynote. It was my first real presentation and certainly not my best. I spent the next 10 minutes in my car looking at myself in the rear-view mirror. I was asked by a large financial institution to speak to their clients on how marketing can help grow their business. In fact, I remember my first speaking gig. And in most cases it leads to business and more revenue growth.īUT, the IDEA of speaking wasn’t always natural for me. Almost every time I give a keynote, workshop or other address I have people lining up to speak to me and give me their business card. “It feels natural…” I went on to tell her. Neither have I ever taken a speaking class. You see, I’ve never been ‘formally’ trained as a speaker. I could sense the excitement on her face as she spoke. Push yourself directly into that fear until you’ve faced it DIRECTLY in the face and it no longer scares you.Īt the end of the event one of the consultants came up to me and asked “Do you do this a lot? I mean, speaking, you’re very good at it? Do you have to practice a lot?” To grow you must leave your COMFORT zone. It’s a great group of people and this event was no different. I’ve provided several workshops and trainings for the CMC. ![]() It was their annual award dinner and AGM held at the Hyatt Regency.
