What do you do if your confidence wavers while building a successful career as a motivational speaker?

A lookback into past success, would enable the individual to observe ones own path, actions taken previously and identify what's missing in the present. Revisiting success gives an individual the required push and confidence to restart! Time to walk the talk.

During any career journey sometimes our confidence wavers, which is quite a normal phenomenon but must be taken care as Confidence matters! In such situations one must definitely revisit his previous career and life; wherein he would have done outstanding work and achievements, which earlier looked tough to achieve. This will reinfuse energy and ethusiasm with few vital past learnings to strengthen positive confidence to continue your motivational speaking & writing journey.

A motivational speaker is simply a human who has become an expert in their subject. Positive self-talk is crucial, regardless of profession, as it allows us to practice what we preach as motivational speakers. In today's world, leading by example and demonstrating that 'if I can do it, so can you' helps the audience feel empowered and take action. Providing actionable steps ensures they can continue practicing long after the session ends

Remember why you started! Remember every struggle on the journey is a potential story you will add to your presentation in the future. We are the sum of the experiences we have overcome. Being a motivational speaker doesn't end the struggles or rather lessons to accomplish. Just remember the wise words of Zig Ziglar - Failure is an event, not a person. Why did you start? Who do you want to inspire? Sometime when we are going through the junk it is frustrating but just like all the other challenges, this one will pass. Then you get to pass the wisdom on to your audience!

Be authentic in your approach on what you deliver to your audiences, like it could be influenced by some other great personalities in the industry but not the complete copy of anybody else. It must be your authentic content and delivery resonating with the needs of the audiences, this will keep your confidence intact.

It's not easy and it takes a lot of courage to be extremely authentic in front of your audience. Audience can sense our emotions and feelings even before we say it, hence its always better to accept them and then continue with our delivery. If we fake our confidence audience will sense it and then handling them becomes a huge challenge. Accepting your emotions and facing your fears makes you extremely genuine because majority of the audience also feels the same and they resonate more when they see someone like them in front of them. Authenticity builds authority. People don't want perfection, they want someone who can guide them how to handle their imperfections through personal stories of growth & improvement.

Authenticity is the greatest gift you can offer. It allows your audience to connect with the real you. Trying to be someone else won't create that genuine connection between you and the audience

If your confidence is wavering you'll look in the wrong place for it. Confidence is created when we focus on what were giving and sharing. That's why helping people feels so good. Reconnect with loved ones and friends. Send them a positive message, a note of gratitude and appreciation daily. Your confidence will become resorted.
