And it brings me to my number one concern I hear from people about doing TEDx talk or any master classes or masterminds or presentations is I don't do public speaking. I can't do public speaking. I'm not a good public speaker. Can you relate to this? What I say to that having gone through it myself is no one's born a public speaker. I mean, I used to stand in front of school assemblies and tremble and be nervous as h***
I don't know about anybody else, but I kind of think of it as like public speaking or several things as being almost like exercising a muscle. Right. When I come to a platform to do audio, if I've been in the habit of of doing audio, then it's easier. It's more fluid and more comfortable. And I'm not so anxious about it. Mind you, in a platform like this, we can pause things, we can delete it before posting, et cetera

And as far as it goes, when I come to my final year in my high school, I just realized it's so simple and no one will care about us. So we just need to convey the information. It's up to them, whether they take it up or not. So yeah, that's great. Thank you for sharing this post

This is such a great response. I love that you said that you were thinking about doing a TEDx talk, but you didn't have an idea. And you didn't think you were an expert enough because I'm going to be talking about the five reasons that I hear the lies that people tell themselves, why they shouldn't do a FedEx talk. And you've just said number two and number three. So I'm going to be sharing a bit about it today and tomorrow

And of course, I would love to be a TEDx speaker. But do I have a topic I'm like, do I have a topic? Do I have anything worthy to say, though? And I'm like, how do I craft the story? And then I'm like, Forget it. So that's one element. And also, it's like, it's TEDx, you have to be really special to get in. Or how do you need to have something?
