An Experience everyone should have...
Picture this:
You are on the stage. The room is silent as they listen to you in rapt attention. You are not anxious because you have rehearsed for this so much you were getting sick of it. But now the moment is here.
There are nerves, you can feel the electricity of them running through you, but it makes you feel alive. You know your talk so well you can almost go through it backwards, but this means you don't have to worry about it at this moment, you are fully present with your audience, with the subtle cues they are giving you as you go through.
You can adlib, in order to increase the impact of what you are saying, and to meet the feedback of your audience. This is the benefit of being totally present in the moment.
Time telescopes. You feel like you are on that stage for an eternity, yet it feels it is over in the blink of an eye.
As you accept the standing ovation and walk from the stage you understand what people mean when they say 'walking on air' of 'my feet didn't touch the ground', as you feel like you float from the stage. Already excited to do it all again.
This is an experience I have had several times.
It is an experience I feel everyone should have at least once in their lives, and I have been fortunate enough to help many people to experience it too.
That is why I do what I do. It is why I volunteered for TEDxRuakura to coach speakers for free, and it is why after a decade of doing this I am still doing it for speaking clients, business clients and other events.
