@dzigbordikwakudosoo: Have you ever been called on to speak and suddenly your mind goes blank? It’s not because you’re incapable or unprepared in some deep way. It’s usually because no one ever taught you what you’re actually supposed to prepare for. Spontaneous Public Speaking [what I call SPS] happens to all of us: At work. In meetings. At events. Even in casual conversations where you’re unexpectedly put on the spot. The real difference between people who freeze and people who rise isn’t confidence. It’s clarity. When you understand the kinds of moments that tend to show up, you can prepare calmly instead of panicking in public. And the good news? This is a skill. And that skill can can be learned.
