I’ll lay it out on the line. I am not a naturally outgoing and talkative person. I dislike speaking up in a room of people I know let alone those who I don’t know. However, it’s a skill I am keen to improve on and something I am deciding to throw myself out to do more of.
See below for topics I am interested in delivering more talks on, whether it’s as a solo speaker as part of an event or conference, on a panel, podcast, webinar or a workshop.
