It's a privilege to be able to do marathons & I do not take this for granted.

Similarly I will no longer take the skin on my toes for granted 😀

I want to get better at this. Leadership roles interest me, but I worry my confidence + lack of verbal clarity will hold me back...

So I’d love to ask:

Have you ever taken public speaking/articulation workshops that made a difference?

What’s helped you build confidence in leading discussions?

I have little confidence in public speaking, especially if it’s less rehearsed. I feel exposed + like an imposter.

I judge my own Yorkshire accent as “weak” or “less intelligent.” Add ADHD “busy brain” → my communication feels less clear than I’d like

I had the privelage of presenting & leading a group discussion around making learning more inclusive for ADHD students (& basically everyone!)

Proud of myself, yet I notice how much I still struggle in these setting; chatting informally is fine, but “work” convos + public speaking feel harder

One thing that's made me happy today... absolutely nailing my custom Bruce merch (on a budget!)
