You are right. This speaking thing is difficult.
Your stomach hurts. Your knees feel weak. You just know you are going to forget something. You are asking yourself “Why on earth would I put myself through this? Again?”
And yet you do. You are preparing to step in front of a group of your coworkers. People who know you. Who sometimes, let’s admit it, judge you. And whose opinions you respect.
Yikes. Why are you doing this?
Well, there are a bunch of reasons.
One might be that you want to connect, you want to communicate. You want to talk about your project.
Another reason might be that you want to be that person, even though you may be an introvert, who steps up and represents your team, your organization.
A real important reason might be that you saw that universal fear in you — that all too common fear of public speaking — and said, “Not me.”
“I am not going to let my fears, especially that fear, determine me.”
If it were easy everybody would do it.
The truth is everybody else is too lazy (it is hard work) or too chicken to do it. Too lazy or too wimpy to face the fear of speaking in public.
So, this speaking thing is the perfect opportunity for you.
Yipee. I’m with you. https://ready2speak.com
