Omg you are SO lucky

[@missdoglover1644]

This really resonates with me. I was TERRIFIED of presenting, I would rather die! In fact I used to not turn up to university seminars where I had to present. When I got into work though I couldn’t avoid it. I absolutely dreaded it, I would literally tremble and feel my voice shaking. The more I did it the easier and more natural it became. For the last few months I have been dreading a big presentation at work. On Monday I did it, I didn’t hide behind the podium, I mic’d up and stood in front of my audience. I had power and I loved it. I feel like I’ve come such a long way and so proud. It’s a scary journey but one worth making.

[@PandaMan02]

what about people that aren't passionate about talking in front of an audience about a topic they don't care about but has to write and memorize a 10 minute speech for?

[@kwmasterbarberuniversaldia3530]

I agree with everything that the young lady spoke on, I grew up with a speech impediment‼️ Right now in my life I speak anywhere & everywhere, Because I have a lot of wisdom & knowledge to share, May the lord almighty continue to bless you all in JESUS name‼️

[@madhavikathar8827]

I liked her confidence,the way she spoke,her body language and the content she delivered in front of the audience . Marks=10/10!!!!!!

[@gabriellacitra9773]

I love love her calmness, body language, her soothing voice and tones, and gradually shift the speech from soft to "damn you got me" phase. Gracefully done Prof

Great Talk Prof. Bridget. I certainly will use this for my class.Thank you

[@TheModernAsianMan]

Amazingly captivating intro. Really got me imagining in my head. The middle of the speech was a tad confusing though, I couldn't quite grasp what she was getting at. The end was perfect, referring back to the beginning of the speech. The points she had made are really valuable & meaningful though. Great speech

Thank you for wonderful service with that program because 25+ years ago, it was people like you working with students like me and the young lady your mentioned, that changes lives! I love how you worked with her to get through her public speaking fears!

I want to become the public speaking speaker in my professional career . Please kindly keep in your mind that your self confidence is the key that can make you a perfect and confident public speaking Speaker and communicator in the public...you have to believe in your self living in your public speaking comfort zone and must have smart eye contact with the people to whom you are speaking as public speaker ... The public speaking is an art of communication and self Expressions .you know . public speaking is a Language of Leadership and confidence .

[@sandrafarina6114]

Loved your speech by I still have no answers how to begin to speak

[@RahulKumar-jx5ku]

I agree with her. She is right about the wisdom we posses and is only meant to share. I often experience delivering wise solutions to my friends, solutions which I could never think of on my own, but they only comes out of my mind when some one else is in need. I appreciate her address, now I m more n more positive about public speaking.

[@anupamakarthik2427]

The speech was very empowering and inspiring

[@ramirotorres3365]

[@EpicStream07]

People are in ur side 👍👍👍

[@CraigMilesYoutube]

I'm doing a TEDx talk in a few weeks. I can relate to this. I've taught classes before, but this is way different. It's just I've had an idea that could impact world education enablement.

[@gmiz9056]

Did you have your talk already? How did it go?

[@CraigMilesYoutube]

OK I think, though I havent seen the video yet, as its still being edited. There are actually two versions, as the organisers recorded my talk, plus a sit down interview (which is apparently a new type TEDx format, that London have recently done). Not sure which one is coming out yet. @@gmiz9056

[@shekharjoshi7351]

Very inspiring video 👍🏿

[@mariadanielbschem2ndmornin488]

Very nice speech.

[@storyteller4410]

Thanks Bridget :)

[@user-ev9zd5vs1h]

Captivating

[@TruptiJagtap]

Today , we were celebrating Teacher's Day. Everything was in so unplanned manner. Some students were disrespecting the students and teachers on stage and were passing comments on them. I felt so bad .So I went on stage and asked for mic. After getting mic , All I did was my feeling , that I was trying to get that program on right track . I expressed that it was not right action by seniors to discourage others and passing comment . I said these all things in very sweet manner. Now I don't know what will they think about me . But if I never spoke my feeling , it would have been big guilt for me.🙌

[@monalijain4387]

Amazing

[@nalinibaskaran09]

This video was nice 👍 but I execpted that I was learning the public speaking little bit but I want to extend the video to half hour

[@aziziashaari2501]

I love public speaking

[@akankshabawa1184]

very good orator

[@kylepinon6853]

I wish I would have watched this video right before I lied about my plans because I was too scared to do a 45 minute presentation for my first experience with public speaking...

[@Aritul]

Did you ever get another opportunity to do a presentation?

[@khadijahkamara727]

Hahahahahah well, next time you'll do it God willing. Wishing you all the best.

[@minzhuparty]

Great !

[@nidhisawdatkar5468]

Very good

[@Alavaro82]

very well-spoken . but still the debilitating fear doesn't go away

[@BT-vn4xn]

I think the debilitating fear will never disappear completely. It will always be a part of you. But over time you will learn to deal with your fear :)

[@tukaramrathod8167]

Wow! Very nice

[@loveonlytee483]

The day I master public speaking people will have to take me off the stage...I won’t stop talking I swear 😂

[@anonymous.990]

[@aburayhan2715]

I fear to speak publicly. But i'm going to start.

[@simontolson285]

Very confident speech but little information on the how to or on how it will change my life. So how do we trust the audience or ourself?

[@crissol4628]

Hi, Simon, You are right. This talk was more inspirational than practical. I've been looking to improve myself in this public speaking journey so here I have some sources that may fill this gap for us: 11 Public Speaking Tips from the best TED Talks Speakers - Inc. 5 TED Talks that will teach you the art of Public Speaking - Your Story (I couldn't paste the links, so I believe if you google these 2 titles they are probably going to appear for you) I hope that it helps. Thanks!

[@simontolson285]

Cristine Sol Gomes Thank you

[@konyvnyelv.]

I don't want my life to be changed by public speaking

[@MrDanny8817]

Great speech. I'm going to join toastmasters now after 17 years of avoiding it .

[@jamalcurtis4902]

I'm in toastmasters as well my friend

[@theinvestorsloft1267]

High resonance during the first half

[@jsridevi8488]

Good

[@samwalton4598]

Join a Toastmasters club asap!! And stay with it until it becomes fun and something you look forward to do!! Tell a story just like she is doing. Simple! Watch a great comedian do his monolgue, he is telling story after story from his heart with his twist of humor on it.

[@konyvnyelv.]

No. Cope

[@PandaMan02]

i have no problem speaking with people in public. i did have a problem talking about a subject i don't care about to try and memorize a 10 minute speech because the teachers think reading a speech off a piece of paper is bad.
