One of my goals for 2019 is to speak at a few events. Believe it or not, I am actually a pretty shy person. I don’t do well, talking to others. However, once I start talking about something that I am passionate about, I can talk forever.
I heard somewhere recently, it was a stand up comedy show that the fear of public speaking is larger than the fear of death. So as the comedian said, you would rather be in the casket than to give the eulogy.
The only way to get rid of a fear is to attack it head on.
So, that’s why I want to pursue for a speaking opportunities this year. I would love to speak at small, local diabetes events, JDRF events, or even be part of a panel to start.
If you are reading this post and you are in charge of booking speakers for diabetes events, then let’s chat.
Pubic speaking is a muscle. The only way to make it stronger is to exercise it. I used to be shy now I love public speaking. I wish you good fortunate in finding something Chris.
