Andrew asked me a question that many aspiring speakers struggle with: "Ham, how do I speak with confidence when I feel like I don’t belong on stage?" I smiled because I’ve been there. The fear, the imposter syndrome, the voice in your head saying, "Who are you to speak?" Here’s what I told him: 📌 Your voice matters. Stop doubting yourself. If you have something valuable to say, someone out there needs to hear it. 📌 Preparation builds confidence. The more you practice, the less fear controls you. 📌 Your first speech won’t be perfect and that’s okay. Every great speaker was once a beginner. Growth happens in the doing. After our conversation, Andrew sent me a message: "Ham, I took your advice. I spoke at an event last night. I was nervous, but I did it! Thank you!" Public speaking isn’t about perfection, it’s about impact. If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect moment” to start speaking, here’s your cue to START NOW. Are you struggling with confidence in public speaking? Drop a comment, I’d love to help!
