This is one of my dream and also one of my weaknesses or fear,
I want to be invited to speak about something that I love to do to,
To inspire other by my success but also I am a bit shy infront of the crowds so sometimes I ends up forgetting my speech or report.
Dude it’s okay at least you wanna do it, right? Everyone starts at the very beginning where we have the fear of public speaking. It’s okay and normal that you are nervous in the first place, and missing out your speech or out of sync or something like that.
I have a tip for you. Try to save a photo of a random crowd and open it full screen on your computer or any other device. This is your training ground imagining that you speak in front of a big audience. This is where you should face your fears. All you need to do was to keep practice, know what you wanna talk for every slide that you present, etc.
It’s okay to be a mess in the first place, but as long you keep doing it, you will be getting much more comfortable. Your fears will slowly die down. This is what I do when I am still at the early stages of my speaking engagement. No speaker is perfect, everyone makes mistakes (even the pros).
I decided to be a crypto and blockchain speaker last 2018, and it was not a good one in my first few sessions. But eventually, I learned my mistakes and keep getting better, and all of a sudden, I was more comfortable doing it no matter how many are there in the crowd.
The largest crowd that I have spoken was last 2019, where I think it was like 700 to 800 students in a university. My biggest break is when I was invited to be one of the panel crypto speakers in Malaysia, with over 300 internationals watching me speak. It was well paid off after all of what I have been through.
Fear is something that you need to overcome in order to fulfill your dream and make it a reality. Just do it slowly, practice it until you are finally comfortable. Hope my tip helps you man.
You gotta live with that dream and making it a reality by slowly confronting your fears and getting out of your comfort zone.
