I hate public speaking. Am terrible. Colleagues think otherwise.
Tomorrow I have to present something about my team to another team at their team meeting.
Next week I have to record a video about something that needs to be sent to clients (this was originally supposed to be live but was changed to a recording last week)
The week after I have to present at the weekly company wide meeting (80+ ppl) on another topic.
Sigh. I mean, great learning opportunities but still, sigh.
Best bit of advice I got was slip into a persona. Its not you presenting. Its Fullkitwanker's "Professional image" presenting. I find it far easier to put on another hat and be someone else than i find it to convince me to do stuff. And you can ABSOLUTLY tell when I've failed to slip into the persona and tried to present anyway.
