Very interesting insights that you shared. Though it may be difficult, people need to start manning-up and taking the bold route.... Definitely some real talk here.

I remember that happened to me many years ago when I was speaking for free to Kiwanis, Lions and Rotary Clubs. One evening I made it a goal of mine to move away from my "security blanket" (podium) and mingle with the audience, Oprah-style. Within a few minutes of doing that, my mind went blank! It was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me as a public speaker. But that's when I learned how to improvise on my feet and fess up. The audience loved it and the speech was a hit.
