  • Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?

    Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?

    Absolutely I have. At first I thought it was the most terrifying task. Like, how dare someone ask me to get in front of a room full of people and speak with out asking me if this was something I wanted or felt comfortable doing.

    However, that initial thought dissipated about 5 minutes in when I looked out in the crowd and saw them engaging, smiling, and cheering me on.

    So guess what! As a communications major I have conquered the fear of speaking but who are we fooling if we don’t admit we get nervous every time we have a presentation to give, an announcement to make, or something involving us being center of attention.

    It’s my profession now and although it was intimidating I now own it with ease and excitement.

    So if this is you and you can relate….deep breaths….breathe in….breathe out… hold your head up with confidence even if you’re nervous and uncomfortable don’t let them see you sweat! You’ve got this! 🙌🏾
