When I was in 3rd grade, my teacher chose me to play Krishna in a school event. That was the first time I went on stage, and though my memory is a bit blurry, I remember being very scared.
I wasn't very social and didn't have many close friends because I was shy. Since I was afraid of everything, I started going on stage to overcome my fear and to challenge myself.
I remember one time when I spoke the news on stage (during 6th class). I quickly sat back down and asked a classmate, "Was that even news?"
My legs were shaking, and I could barely speak. I kept wondering, "Am I really that bad?"
Cut to this day, Now, most people who hear me speak often kindly say,
"You're one of the best speakers we've heard."
connect with me for a speaking engagement?
I am usually booked out 4-6 weeks in advance, so please provide me with that flexibility.
