Let’s be real – being a newbie is tough.
It can be embarrassing + scary all at the same time!
But it won’t be forever + the sooner you get moving towards your goals, the less time you’ll spend in that cringy period!
So, if you’re just starting out, here are some of the things I did in the earlier days of my public speaking career to keep rolling along… that you can implement too!
How I transformed into a confident public speaker:
- I practiced + rehearsed
- I moved past my fear + I put myself out there
- I was willing to be a beginner + to learn, to look foolish + improve
- I asked more experienced people for help + advice + was open to feedback (even when it was uncomfortable)
- I didn’t give up, even after I screwed up
- I took bigger risks to speak on bigger stages
- I committed to it, speaking as often as I could, where + whenever I could
- I worked shows that I didn’t love in order to gain experience + get closer to where I wanted to be
- I believed in myself
The last one is the MOST important one! Believing in myself was the key to how I transformed into a confident public speaker.
If I – a former super shy kid with the nickname “Mouse” can do it – you can definitely do it!
