What will I do in this group?

Is it really for me?
Do I really need a practice group? Maybe it’s enough if I just do an online course.
No-one is born a genius speaker. Of course some people have it easier than others to present in front of crowds, but similar to athletes, only practice can really turn you into a good speaker. If you are seriously motivated to achieve the 2.0 version of yourself in public speaking, you know that taking online courses alone is not going to work. Real practice is what you need, in particular if:
- You feel anxious when you have to hold a presentation in front of your team or when you are asked to make a short introduction
- You find it sometimes hard to present your ideas and defend your argument
- When you are suddenly asked to make a presentation or explain something, you get sweaty palms and struggle to make your point.
Does it mean that I have to commit myself to a fixed time every week?
To make it short, yes, commitment is required. If you know a way to be good at something without commitment, please let us know. The time and the frequency of video calls and goals will depend on what you agree with your group. Regular calls are necessary to create a good dynamic with your group and really benefit from the mutual exchange.
Isn’t it boring to meet online?
We are already deep in the 21st century. It’s time to get comfortable with online presentations and meetings. Remote work certainly increased the importance of being capable to make your point clear during an online meeting. Video calls is also a great way to meet like-minded people and see things from a different perspective.
