I have this exact issue on occasion. Had a meeting the other day where I was put on the spot in an unexpected/unplanned way. Heart started beating so fast and I could barely speak. Had to excuse myself and leave the room.
Sometimes situations like this don’t bother me. If I can prepare for a presentation, I’ll often do great. I’m good at making a fun speech. Years ago I was voted one of the best speakers in a public speaking class of about 30 people.
But there are times, if I’m in a room with people I’m uncomfortable with, or put on the spot, that totally throw me off. I’ll check out your video.
In particular, I seem to be struggling with online video calls. I feel more comfortable and natural with in-person meetings. There’s something about a camera in my face and a bunch of faces on a computer screen that feels so weird.
What would you generally recommend to someone like me?
