Yesterday, I had to overcome my fear of public speaking. I have to admit I never had much confidence to speak in front of an audience. Some of my close friends find this hard to believe because they know I have had many experiences talking in front of different groups of people. I should have been used to it. But I don't know why I still get so nervous and shy. Often I feel like I'm going to forget what I am going to say. At the end of every speaking engagement, I would always feel like I've been through Fear Factor…and survived it.
Here are some pics from yesterday's event in the office. I had to speak in front of our marketing representatives from all over the country to orient them on my new and upcoming projects and to address their concerns in marketing.
Me pretending to be confident hahaha

Had a short chat with a good friend, Dr. Romero, a UST professor who is also one of our editors and consultants.

Posted by bea at August 7, 2006, 12:38 pmThis reminds me of the first time i had a training for about 20 Malaysian participants. I was soooo nervous ’cause most of them were older than me. My voice was so low, the people at the back complained, and I was so self-conscious. It was a disaster at the start but good thing I gained a bit of confidence after few minutes and at the end of the training, they were so thankful to me, some gave me gifts, some asked for my email… whew! ![]()
