What was your reaction the first time you were asked to speak or make a public presentation?
I almost died of dread the first time I did! The fact that I was going to stand before people and have all of them stare at me at the same time in expectation of what I wanted to say to them almost crippled me.
Even after I was done, I still felt odd. "Did I just walk through the path I thought was reserved for the wise?" i asked myself. I grabbed on the closest support to regain my balance before moving on!
However, that was the sacrifice I made to speak before others, because subsequently I have made presentation before thousands!
It wasn't until I did it that I realised speaking was like water, anybody can drink it! Hitherto, I thought it was a venture for some special breed of humans; people who were not entirely ordinary; well, that was until I did it!
Speaking before people is what anybody can do; whatever your level of education, exposure, and so on. But there is something very important you need to have prior standing before an audience otherwise you won't like the experience of going before them. What is it?
Keep a date on Wednesday!
