Ernest Muswagon, Safety Presenter / Aboriginal Liaison
MY RESUME
Life experience
It's hard to get up in front of people and talk. Some people just can't do it. It gets easier with time.
One of the things that has helped me become more confident is just life experience. The more you know your subject and the more people you've talked to, the less pressure you feel when you do a presentation.
If someone said when I was in high school that I was going to be doing this I would have said "no way". I almost fainted in Grade 10 when I tried to do a presentation to my classmates. Now look at me! I have no problem standing in front of large groups of people because I feel comfortable with it and I want to get my message across.
