Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve just decided to conquer your fears? I’m at such a cross road. To one extent, that’s what my life’s been like a lot. Moving countries, switching careers- more or less regularly changing from stability into the unknown. Now I’ve done it again. Last year, I was asked to talk in front of a big audience. At the time I was really not comfortable as I was so new to everything: country, organisation, the project- well everything. So when the opportunity arrived again, I decided to accept the challenge. I used to be great at public presentations and speaking. Not so right now. I think it’s just something that is mentally stuck in my head that I need to carefully chose my words. That’s really not true. Next week, I’m presenting for 40-50 people and I feel ok about it. At times yes I ask myself what on earth- and why?!?!?!? Did I decide to accept this challenge. I’m trying to visualise calmness and success in my head. I’m determined to do a good job and to think that when I hear and see someone talking- of course I always want the person to do well. Have you ever done something and accepted a challenge that you knowingly don’t like- even fear???
