My First Time Public Speaking
Talk With The Video
Summary
- The first time I ever spoke publicly, I was incredibly nervous. My hair even curled from the stress, but in the end, it taught me something valuable.
- I realized that people don't care as much as we think they do about our nervousness or mistakes. Everyone is more focused on moving on to the next thing.
- Despite my fear, I survived the experience and even succeeded by earning an A.
- This experience taught me that feeling nervous is natural and doesn't define the outcome. It’s more important to push through and learn from the experience.

How To Take Action
I would suggest reminding yourself that feeling nervous is natural, especially when trying something new or speaking in public. It’s totally okay to feel this way. The important thing is that you push past it and focus on doing your best. Maybe practice some deep breathing to help calm those nerves before you start.
A good way of dealing with anxiety about how others perceive you is to remember that most people are too focused on their own things to scrutinize your every move. They’re not noticing your nervousness as much as you think, so don’t let your fear of judgment hold you back.
For entrepreneurs or anyone interested in personal growth, try to embrace opportunities that challenge you. You learn so much from these experiences. Even if it feels scary at first, the end result can be a big confidence boost. It’s about overcoming fear and realizing you can do more than you thought.
Finally, after any challenging experience, take a moment to reflect. Think about what went well and what you can learn for the next time. This kind of reflection helps you grow and improves your skills, making the next challenge a bit easier.
