Today we're diving deep into a topic that often surprises people: why public speaking can sometimes feel easier than a simple one-on-one conversation. We've all been there, right? Standing around at a party, surrounded by strangers, maybe only knowing 2 other guests. The pressure to make conversation and the fear of awkward silences can feel paralyzing. Some of you might be surprised to learn that this is usually how I feel at parties or events where I don’t know anyone. And maybe even more surprising is the fact that I much rather give a speech in front of a large audience. I have heard of other public speakers having the same issues - many of us prefer to speak on stage to a room full of strangers than to have one-on-one conversations with a single solitary stranger - or sometimes even an acquaintance! What the heck is going on here? Listen and find out! Learn more about ENERGY VAMPIRES here! If you want to be a better public speaker, it all starts with your stories.
