I still remember my first public speaking gig, now +25 years back, because it wasn't a great success. At least in my head. My audience varies from 1 individual to +2,500 at large stages like Microsoft Ignite. And yet, I'm still nervous when starting. But I learned how to get the butterflies fly in formation. Everyone is a good speaker, you just don't always know. I want to approach this session more like a workshop, sharing what worked for me, what didn't (like fake it till you make it...) and how you can prepare for it.
