Hey Friends,
This post is a little different than the ones you've received from me so far.
A few weeks back, I saw a theme forming in our little community. People called to speak are battling all kinds of fears. Trust me when I say I get it. My stomach has done more flips and turns than an Olympic gymnast since 1991 when I stepped out of my favorite spot as a student in a step aerobics class, moved to the front, and led a bunch of unsuspecting peers through a very MESSY and BUMPY fitness class.
Public speaking in spandex. How's that for fear?
I didn't realize there were techniques and skills involved I needed to learn. Thank goodness for the woman who ran the rec center at ASU, who saw something in me and pulled me aside to teach me the skills and techniques for me to learn and practice.
Since I am passionate about making healthy disciples who make healthy disciples, I know that public speaking is a part of the deal. With that in mind, this past week's “office hours” (a once-a-week time to meet with me, hang out, ask questions, pray together, and be prayed for), I decided to share my best practices for facing a crowd and using my voice to speak.
I recorded the teaching and am sharing it here for those who wanted to attend but couldn't make it live.
Take a listen if this is a felt need for you.
Share anything below about your feelings or tips and tricks about speaking.
Also, leave any questions below that you would ask a friend. I'm listening. It may be the next thing we discuss next time we come here to meet.
His love,
Alisa
