🚧 What kind of barriers have you experienced to sharing your experiences?

To answer this week's big question.

There can be many barriers one might put up when speaking in a room full of people. I feel these barriers like nervousness, self belief can be amplified when physically being present before a large group of people.

In my experience the opportunity to join online in my own safe space empowers me to be more creative with my ideas and feedback.

Speaking to a big audience in a conference can also add pressure to perform or think one needs certain skills to convey your life experience, all the while forgetting authenticity.
