Who Can You Be by Warren Redman

I spent most of my professional life believing that I was pretty good counseling or coaching individuals or teaching small groups of people, and that I did not have it in me to talk to large groups. You know the adage that some people would rather be in the coffin than give the eulogy, well that was me (or almost). A few months ago I gave up that idea, suddenly remembering that I had held on to that thought since a speech I made when I was eighteen, and felt that I wanted the earth to open up under me. That was over 40 years ago!!!

Of course, I used all kinds of reasons (excuses) to justify my not wanting to talk to large groups. None of them, as it
happens, are real. I discovered all this when I listened to myself closely, and yet again, found something new within me. I gave up the notion that I could not talk to big groups. Lo and behold, the next thing I know I am talking to over 500 people,
all of whom seem to like it! Now I am looking forward so much to the next engagements I have that I can hardly wait. One more lesson in how I can become more of who I really am. Does it never stop? NO!!! Thank goodness.

Who can you be?
