✨Show me your progress! ✨

Take this moment to pause, zoom out, and appreciate your progress (sharing is caring haha) 🎤

By the time you finish this course (and maybe even halfway through), you’ll be speech-ready and spotlight-confident, ready to wow any audience with your speaking skills! And I’d love to see your progress - share your video or tell me the story how it all went in your project space at the end like a GRAND FINALE! ✨

Work through the practical lessons step by step, and when you’re ready, take on the 3 final challenges to bring your personal touch to the stage/room/team/your multi-universe!

🎯 Challenge Exercise: Revisiting Your Growth

Remember that very first practical task – the one where you explored why speaking skills matter? It’s time to loop back to it and see how far you’ve come. No action needed just yet – simply reread it and reflect.

Step 1: Mark the Big Day

Pick an upcoming event where you can put your speaking skills to the test - a class, a pitch, a group meeting, or even a family toast. Block it out on your calendar - this is your STAGE.

Step 2: Pre-big day reflection (SWOT)

Before that event arrives, do a fresh SWOT analysis:

Strengths – What are you naturally good at? What knowledge or experience can you lean on?
Weaknesses – What areas still feel shaky or uncertain?
Opportunities – What doors could this event open for you? Visibility, connection, growth?
Threats – What might get in your way? Nerves, tech issues, time?

revisit your SWOT to reflect: Did your strengths carry you? Did you manage your weak spots? Were there unexpected wins or hurdles?

Step 3: Post-big day reflection

Once it’s all over, go further and ask yourself:

Compare your previous SWOT with the first analysis results. Do you note anything different? Can you see any progress?
Reflect on any weaknesses you identified initially. Have you made improvements in these areas? If so, how?
Based on your experience, what advice would you give to someone preparing for their first public speaking/speech event?
What new opportunities do you see for yourself in the future regarding public speaking?
