TWO weekends ago, I made an appearance in Penang for TEDxWeldquay. I was extremely nervous. People think that it's easy for theatre actors to present themselves in front of an audience, but being able to hide behind role-playing is very different!
I've never done my own talk before, so it was an intimidating task to try to cohesively link a plethora of thoughts, and finding appropriate visuals to accompany my points. I ran it through my head in the morning and on my drives home from work, adding things in, throwing things out, making sure it kept sounding better.
