“I’m f**king sh****ng myself” - a very accurate summary of how I was feeling before this 😂
Public speaking has not really been something I’ve thought I could do at this age which is funny because anyone who knows me would say I could talk to a brick wall BUT talking to people and standing at the front of a room with every single set of eyes looking back at you are apparently two VERY different things.
When MBA Central Coast asked me to come down and talk all things digital tools for tradies, I was excited… and then I realised I actually had to stand up and do it.
The weeks leading up to this were massive. I put so much time into the presentation because if I was going to get up there, I wanted people to actually walk away with something useful.
Then the day came, I got up there, pretty much blacked out and somehow made it to the other side 😂
On the drive home I genuinely thought I’d cooked it. But looking back at the videos now, I think I was probably being just a LITTLE hard on myself hahaha.
It was pretty darn scary, but such a cool experience to have had.
A massive thank you to MBA Central Coast for having me and especially Dana for the opportunity and all the encouragement.
Also Pete from Making Waves Media | Newcastle Photography and Videography for coming along to capture it all and being my moral support for the drive down, the pre-talk panic and the entire drive-home analysis 😂
Still can’t believe I did this but I bloody did!!
