Excerpts from this conversation with Natasha Bazilevych:
Natasha, were you a natural, natural, natural at public speaking?
No, I wouldn't say that I was natural. I developed it as a skill. When I was young, I was really shy. I was very shy.
People didn't notice me teachers wouldn't pick me for performances. I actually was kind of like, I was shy, but at the same time, I was an action taker. So I was initiating.
There were several times that I remember I came to my teachers. And I said, can I go, we had this performance on the stage and one girl dropped out, they needed a replacement. So I remember I said, can I go and this teacher, she looks at me up and down like this.
And he's like, No, you go, and then she picks another girl. And this goes into my brain so much. It's like, okay, and then there was one more moment was second grade, actually, when I came to teachers and said, I can sing this song. Then I started singing a song to them. And they, they smiled to each other and said, No, that's okay. You don't, you don't have to.
It's like I tried. But I was not a person that was natural that people would just pick and teachers would think that I'm so great. No. And then eventually, I worked on this my best friend, and that was my teenage years.
She said, When will you stop being so shy? After a couple of times when I just wouldn't do what we wanted to do together? And I thought, well, yeah, when enough is enough, I should develop my confidence.
And I still have that entry. In my diary, when I wrote, I want to be confident because I wanted to be a journalist and an interpreter and travel the world. And Phil, I wrote, I want to develop confidence, I will do 123. And I was writing points.
Because I've read so many different books, I was always this bookworm I loved different magazines and different educational pieces where I would learn how to develop my own personality, even being a teenager was into personal development.
So I found ways of how to grow confidence. And my first public speaking experience was my valedictorian speech, when I shared on the stage. So from there, I went on, and I started teaching, training and speaking, but before that, no, I was not natural.
