I Was FORCED to Speak in Front of 150 People (SCARY)
Last week, I was on a work trip to Thailand. (Yes, I have a 9-5 job as I need a visa in Malaysia)
Anyways...
Day 2 of the event, I was thrown a curveball:
“You’ve to do a 15-min product training session in front of 150 people. Oh, and… it’ll be in Hindi.”
Here’s the thing: Hindi isn’t my first language. English is.
I panicked. I tried to get out of it. Prayed someone else would step in.
No luck.
By the evening, I had no choice but to step up.
I would have to do 3 or so sessions with 150 people each, I was told.
Session 1: My hands were shaking. My voice cracked. I stumbled through the whole thing.
Session 2: Slightly better. I started getting the hang of it.
Session 3: Something shifted. I leaned into the discomfort. I asked questions. Cracked jokes. Told stories.
And it kept going... So I kept getting better.
By the time I hit Session 5, I was thriving.
I wasn’t just speaking… I was connecting.
That’s when I realized something:
Confidence doesn’t come before action. It comes after.
You don’t “feel ready” and then start.
You start, fumble, and learn until you become ready.
The takeaway for us YouTubers:
Your first few uploads will feel awkward. You’ll stumble. You’ll overthink every word.
But every video no matter how bad teaches you something.
And with enough reps, you’ll find your flow.
So stop waiting for the perfect moment.
Hit record. Post it. Lean into the discomfort.
Because confidence isn’t the starting line. It’s the reward.
