Change the Story
You’re Telling Yourself About Yourself
Look at the Audience as Allies
Have you ever gone to listen to a speaker and thought to
yourself, I hope this person is awful and wastes my time.”
Didn’t think so.
So why would people
think any differently with you on stage?
The next time you start telling yourself, “I’m going to
embarrass myself. I could get rejected. They won’t find what I have to say
compelling or worthwhile. I don’t belong up here.”
Remember this one thing:
The audience is on your side!
The people listening to you want you to rock out! In
fact, they’re secretly hoping you have the answer to a problem they’ve been
wrestling with. Chances are they’re dying for a new idea or an original point
of view.
Look at your audience as your greatest ALLIES.
