Joining the public speaking championship in April 2018, has been a major personal challenge.
It had been years since I did a presentation or simply voiced out my thoughts on any particular subject in front of so many pairs of eyes!
However, I a
m very grateful for all the supports I received from the JCI family including the public speaking training by Dr. Vedita Cowaloosur, through the quick networking after the training, and the public speaking toolkit without which, I would certainly not have been ready to face all these other amazing and confident participants.
If I can share some tips with you, it would be as follows;
- Write something in which you really believe in,
- Practice voicing it out, as much as you can,
- And, just enjoy the moment when it is time to do the challenge.
It was indeed a big sweet surprise when they announced that I was the first runner up for the championship!
