Two confidence boosters from one question

How to get 2 confidence boosters from 1 question?

Ever wondered why you’re standing there, about to embark on that nerve-wracking yet exhilarating journey of public speaking? Let’s dive into 2 perspectives that can turn those nervous butterflies into confident eagles, using 1 question! 🦋🚀

The question: Why am I giving this presentation?

Perspective 1️⃣: Why am I giving this presentation?

When you emphasize the “I,” you tap into your unique strengths, knowledge, and skills. Maybe you’re the expert, the person everyone looks to for this topic. Your knowledge is like a lighthouse, guiding others through uncharted territory.

Your passion for the topic is infectious, making the audience genuinely interested. Realizing that you are the voice of authority can be incredibly powerful.

If someone—your manager, for example—asked you to give this presentation, ask them why they chose you. Who knows what great answers you’ll get!

For example:

* “You know the most about this”

* “You can tell such a compelling story”

* “You can explain complex matters so clearly”

Perspective 2️⃣: WHY am I giving this presentation?

When we shift the focus to “why,” we gain a broader perspective. Maybe this topic resonates with your values, and you feel a deep sense of purpose. You’re not just presenting; you contribute to a purpose greater than yourself. This purposeful approach gives authenticity to your words and allows them to resonate with your audience on a deep level.

Conclusion: Whether you’re driven by personal expertise or a greater purpose, remember that YOU are the conduit for valuable information. 🌟
