Presenting with confidence

8:34

sure my

8:34

office looks nice and tidy i'm having a

8:36

conversation that i feel

8:38

about things i know about so yeah

8:40

fantastic that was really great well

8:42

kind of recently i did have to like

8:43

present things to my class because i'm

8:46

in college and i had to present things

8:48

to like put myself forward as a

8:49

candidate and so i just kind of stood up

8:51

there and just

8:53

tried to say like i'm really great for

8:54

being a candidate even though i knew

8:56

that i wasn't the best suited candidate

8:58

but it worked anyway i did get i was

8:59

nominated to be a class representative

9:02

even though i

9:03

probably wasn't the best person

9:05

i have to do a lot of speaking to two

9:08

groups of people and hosting meetings um

9:11

and even now after years of doing it

9:13

before every single meeting i get that

9:14

feeling of anxiety it's the same people

9:17

i deal with every time it's the same

9:19

subjects and i always start with that

9:21

anxiety that kind of panic of oh what if

9:23

i say the wrong thing what if something

9:24

goes wrong um

9:26

the confidence comes when i step up

9:28

there um i always start with a little

9:30

kind of maybe a little anecdote or a

9:31

little break in the ice with a joke

9:33

maybe that's always good um and that

9:35

relaxes me more than anything and then

9:37

the confidence there comes where i can

9:39

speak about the subjects we need to

9:41

speak about and get the point across all

9:42

right so you think of you sort of put

9:44

into place something which you've not

9:45

rehearsed as much but you know that you

9:47

know where
