You know those people who can't speak in front of an audience? Or a group? Or even out loud in front of strangers?
I'm not that person. I love public speaking. I really enjoy getting up in front of an audience and talking. I live for the days that I facilitate workshops and get the chance to interact with my audience.
As a student, I was on debate team and did various public speaking engagements. I was always the one selected to speak on assembly, read The Ode on Anzac Day and speak in front of groups.
Funnily enough, I'm an introvert. I draw my energy from within. Which means I find it extremely draining when I work in groups - the energy to work in those groups drains my levels. I often find myself working quietly in a room after those sessions, just to give my mind and body the opportunity to re-energise and rejuvenate.
Doesn't stop me from going back for more though - I thrive on that work and am so looking forward to the next few months as my job is giving me an abundance of opportunities to speak to and facilitate groups across my branch.
