My Tedx adventure - Positive attracts Positive
Last summer (summer 2019), a person I know through a friend, who works at Annecy University (where I live and where I studied), sent me a message saying “Eh the University is organizing a TedX, are you interested to participate as a Speaker? ”
My reaction 😱😱😱😱😱😱 !! What ??? ME? A Tedx? pfiouuuuuuuuu… and here we go my saboteurs started to be here with me, constantly:
Speaking at a Tedx is not for me, this is for '“famous” & “interesting” people!
But what am I going to say?
Ohlala I am not good at public speaking, I will not be able to do it !!
Anyway, my saboteurs did not send me good vibes at all !! So I ask them "to go away" and I re-thought the situation from another perspective, much more pleasant:
Aaaahhhh what an incredible challenge & opportunity
Ohlalala I can talk about emotions, positivity, happiness, so many fascinating subjects, share topics that fascinate me :)
Ok, I will need to really prepare myself and I am sure it’s gonna make it
At worst, if it sucks what will happen to me? nothing, everyone forgets my talk and that's it!
It's a new experience, I've never done this before !!
Let's gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 🥳
So I worked on my speech, I was helped by friends and my family who gave me feedback, advised, guided, listened, allowed me to practice in front of them, and it helped me a lot! 1000 thanks to them 🤩
And in November 2019, the big day is here, I will be giving my speech! Here I am, preparing myself, rehearsing one last time, breathing etc
Once there, I meet with the other speakers (so nice & interesting) and the organizers (they managed very well all the event to ease the process for Speakers !!) and then at 2 p.m. it's my turn !!
I get up, I'm the first to go on the stage, there is a hundred of people, who look at me and then I start my speech, finally it's not that bad;) and PAF 20 minutes later, here I share one of the subjects that fascinates me the most: see the positive side! :)
Here is the result: Video
