Warst du schon einmal auf der Bühne gestanden oder hast eine Rede gehalten?
Have you ever found yourself standing under the spotlight, whether on a stage or in front of an audience, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness? Well, I certainly have, and my journey through the realms of dance, singing, and public speaking has been nothing short of an unexpected adventure.
In my early years, I discovered a passion for dancing that took me by surprise. Primary school was the breeding ground for my initial ventures into the world of rhythmic expression. Winning little awards became a norm, and I found myself being thrust into the limelight not just once but many times. The spotlight continued to follow me through secondary school, where I became a familiar face performing in front of people, despite my reservations about being in the spotlight.
As I transitioned into university life, my dance moves took on a life of their own, especially within my department and at various parties. The unexpected perk? I even got paid for doing what I loved. Little did I know that another surprise awaited me – the revelation that I could sing. Encouragement from a fantastic teacher and my aunt propelled me into the world of singing, leading me to perform at events. The irony? I’ve always been terrified of standing in front of people, a fear that persists even now. Yet, somehow, I always find myself in the spotlight, much to my amusement.
Speaking of speeches, if you’ve navigated through the corridors of school, university, or found yourself in a role that demands public presence, you’ve likely encountered the unavoidable task of addressing an audience. I, for one, can attest to the discomfort that comes with it. Despite my reluctance, the need to speak in public has followed me throughout my academic and professional journey.
I still prefer to be behind the Mic 🎤 it makes it easier for me to contribute even though I can do that upfront but you just won’t get the best of me.😂
So, have you ever been on stage or given a speech? It’s a universal experience that often creeps into our lives when we least expect it. Share your stories, resonate with the moments of triumph and awkwardness, and let’s navigate this shared journey together.
