I was on stage.
Alone, without an interview partner.
Live. In English.
When I joined Laurie’s Public Speaking Academy of Laurie Mabelis, I was scared.
But session by session, something changed.
I felt more secure.
My confidence grew quietly.
Eight weeks passed in what felt like seconds.
Just one week before the summit,
I finished the final draft of my talk.
And then something unexpected happened.
On the day of the talk… I wasn’t nervous.
I felt calm.
Excited.
Ready.
Only when the livestream started did my heart begin to race.
A little nervousness, but also a lot of excitement.
I loved giving that talk.
It felt real. Impactful. Honest.
Afterwards, we had a feedback call inside our speaker community.
And the responses truly touched me.
People said they felt seen.
That I spoke directly to them.
That my calmness felt powerful.
That I seemed very grounded.
Hearing that meant a lot to me.
I feel proud.
Grateful.
And full of joy.
Where am I heading next?
I don’t fully know yet.
But I have ideas.
And I’m sure:
This was just the beginning.
If you’d like to watch the talk, send me a message.
I would love to share it with you!
