"I'm the expert. So there is no doubt why my boss has chosen me to give this pitch.
I know I have everything I need to succeed here. So why am I sweating like this, why is my heart pounding out of my chest and why is my voice shaking uncontrollably?
Wait, I have tricks to make me look confident: I am checking my posture and trying to remember techniques that, they say, work wonders for other presenters. But...nothing seems to be working right now.
I realize that not two people are the same...so their soft skills and strengths cannot be the same either, right? When I think of all the great speakers I came to meet over the years, what they really have in common is that they're all unique. And so are their respective ways to deliver a message and touch people.
