If you would have asked me a dozen years ago if I’d ever thought I’d be a public, motivational speaker, I’d have told you, “Not in a million years“. It was never on my radar, nor was it ever a childhood dream.
You know the scary part? And by the way, when the scary thought starts creeping into my consciousness, I have to immediately distract myself. Otherwise, I might get sick.
The scary part is that everyone expects public speakers to be smart and funny.
Smart and funny.
Are you kidding me?
Do what you fear and the death of that fear is certain. Public speaking also boosts self-confidence. Self-confidence boosts your leadership thinking. And that, as they say, could very well be money in the bank.
So today, I’m going to do something I fear, like taking calculated risks to move a great idea forward. It’s risky because the goal seems impossible to many people. But that won’t stop me. Will it stop you?
