So as many of you know, I have been putting a lot of work into my public speaking club. I am still suffering through this migraine but took my meds and headed out for the meeting. Here is a clip of my speech tonight. I will share the whole thing once I get the chance to put it all together, but here was the beginning. I got so much positive feedback on my last couple speeches and here is what changed for me. When I first started the Toastmaster's club....I tried so hard to make my speeches the way everyone else did, but I kept forgetting what I wanted to say and ended up having to read so much of my speech that I felt defeated. My last 2 speeches were straight from the heart and with very little writing. I just shared what God had placed on my heart to share, but with some practice and preparation. Never dull your shine to match someone else's.....shine like the amazing light that you are!! Now I am getting amazing feedback like this one: "Great speech tonight!! It's one thing to share information and another to share your heart in a speech. Thank you for sharing your heart and passion for helping others. You are truly inspiring others including me. :)" I know I have a long way to go before I ever reach motivational speaker level, but I am no longer afraid of being in front of the room. I know my words are meant for someone in that room and I will share them with all the passion and fire I have in my being. #ahcoachingandfitness #teamchangeonfire🔥 #Toastmasters #okiorators #motivationalspeakerinthemaking
