Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?
Not later than last week, I gave a speech at a private function. I organized the launch of my new book ‘ Leaves’ in my birth country.
However prior to the event, I had posted about the event on the social media, eventually many followers attended, who were really virtual friends.
I am a Barrister, hence I am used to speaking in public. I never learned public speaking. It happened naturally when I stood on my feet to address the Criminal Court in defense of my client. She was accused of assaulting her husband. She was pleading not guilty.
I pleaded for her on the grounds of self defense and I won the case.
Thereafter armed with self confidence, I am very much at ease for public speech.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
