How the Public Speaking Bug Bit Me

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to teach a group of young adults about public speaking. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing excerpts from the 45-minute presentation with you. Today, I’ll start with my story.

How did I get bitten by the public speaking bug? Have I always been comfortable speaking to groups? Watch this short, two-minute video to find out.

The above video was excerpted from two 45-minute workshops I facilitated for a group of teens and young adults. I am available to speak to your group, both in-person and virtually, on a variety of topics. For more information, visit www.carmaspence.com/speaker.

    That is great to see you giving young adults this information about the benefits of public speaking. I never even knew about Toastmasters until I was much older. I wish someone had let me know about it when I was younger.

    I also thought it was nice to hear you had a dad who supported you in your personal development. I wish everyone had such supportive parents.

      Hi Steve,
      My parents … like everyone’s parents … weren’t perfect. But they did things right in many ways and I’m grateful for those brilliant moments of my childhood.

      Toastmasters has a Youth Leadership program, too. I’ve already facilitated two of them. They can be challenging, but definitely worth the effort!
