You were amazing. It was so lovely to meet you x
You too! xx
I thought you spoke really well, Chantelle, your session was great! Sorry I didn’t get the chance to come and say hi! Next time. xx
Yes! Next time. And thank you. x
Yay! Congratulations!
You did great Chantelle and it was great to (briefly) meet you x
Thanks Carli. So nice spending the last moment of the conference with you. x
You spoke beautifully from the heart and with passion – what a fantastic session. It was so wonderful to spend time with you – I seriously felt like I was on a school camp again!! Thank you for your honesty and kindness xx
You were such a highlight for me. xxx
This is beautiful. That line about realising that confronting fear can help us to grow is so bang on. Thank you!
This is so timely – thank you. I freeze/panic/lose sleep
over the thought of speaking in public (even to a small group)
But just said yes to an opportunity that I am forcing myself
to do because I know that I need to grow, evolve and embrace the fear.
Thanks for showing me that I can suffer from a few moments
of sweaty palms, pounding heart rate and shaking voice and it will all be worth
it! J
Lady! You will be fantastic.
You are going to be great!! Your loveliness always shines through xx
Oh you will be fab. Is this the photography course you’re talking about?
two words. Rescue remedy. I dont know if it actually works but I tell myself it does and rely solely on its magical powers. Life does start at the end of your comfort zone x
I love that stuff. I forgot to get some, but I’ve used it in the past. I love the lozenges.
My 9 yr old son is preparing a speech for an assignment that is due this week, he is so nervous and doesn’t want to get up in front of his class, I thought of you. I’m sure you were amazing Chantelle 🙂
Thanks Liz. I hope your boy kills it. x
AWESOME!!! Wish I had seen you speak. You would have been great. xxx
Thanks Lexi. x
It was so lovely to finally meet you Telle, and you did a beautiful job. You were friendly, professional and passionate- the perfect combo xx
Oh man, you’re so beautiful – so loved meeting you! Thanks for your kind words. x
You can be proud of yourself Chantelle, I know what that panic,scared feeling is like and mine is for getting on planes. So you have done that and spoken in front of a crowd. Well done and I am glad you managed to do it and survive and enjoy :))
Thanks for your support along the way. I’ve really loved the contribution you bring to my Facebook page as well. Thank you. x
You owned it xx
Well done! I absolutely detest public speaking and admire anyone that can do it without the warble in your voice being a huge giveaway of the nervousness.
You however should be so proud and chuffed with yourself!
At the beginning I knew I couldn’t just start into it, so of course I mustered out a “I’ve never talked into a microphone before” and then I was good to go. A giveaway, yes!
WHOOP WHOOP!!! Look at you GOOOO!!
So bloody pleased to read this Chantelle. Was thinking of you on the day.

Thanks Em. Wish you were at the conference. I think you would have really loved it. x
It’s remarkable what we can do when we allow ourselves to stretch. I went through a similar experience back in May when I had to give a presentation to my editing class on memoirs. I prepared like a mad woman and although I was nervous and sweaty speaking in front of an audience of peers, I actually got a HD for it. The difference was in the preparation, and being able to speak to a subject which I’m passionate about. Knowing your subject inside out makes all the difference. Go you!
Congratulations! That’s brilliant.
I’m so glad I prepared – it meant that it was all fresh in my head. x
Some people fear public speaking as much as death. In my experience a little preparation goes a long way. Sounds like you nailed it.
I do have to admit that I was almost one of those people. Thank you. x
Thanks for the lovely words Chantelle. You have so much knowledge on blogging and social media and can convey it in a way people can understand. Looking forward to hearing you speak again very soon – I know others will want you at their events too!
You were so amazing, so well spoken and so spot on with the content you spoke about. Thanks for inspiring me. x
I went to PB event – wish I had met you – wanted to thank you for the photo a day concept and sharing so beautifully – I’m inspired by you. Cheers liz from Lastchancetraining
Oh, wish I had met you too. I tried to get around and meet as many new people as possible – but there was a whole lot of people! Next time. x
The things we do to ourselves eh? Well done you for pushing through it. When you are speaking about something you are passionate about you end up forgetting about how your feeling and get wrapped up in the passion. That is a brilliant feeling. Onwards and upwards! 🙂
An absolutely brilliant feeling!
Well done Lovely! Its actually an amzaing feeling the high you get after speaking in public and I had forgotten about that feeling until you reminded me! I used to be so great at public speaking and really enjoyed it! But after so much anxiety it went away and slowly I am getting my groove back, and its actually from reading inspiring things like this! Iggy tells me to “Be Brave” and you certainly were! Great work! xx
Oh bless Iggy! I loved the feeling afterwards.
I owe you an email too. Catching up on everything this week. Finally feel like I’m not running on nervous energy and can get things done!
I love this. This, to me, looks like a big fat opening door!! This feels like the beginning of something big. Do you get that feeling too? There will be no stopping you now lovely. No stopping you at all.
SO awesome to catch up. xox
Oh, that’s so nice to say. Perhaps it is!
So great to see you too. xxx
so wished I had been there to hear/see you speak 🙂 So glad you had it nailed and enjoyed it towards the end! You are way more braver than I ever could be!
Oh I wish I was there! Good work, public speaking is really terrifying. I heard you were great. There is nothing like pushing your limits.
it used to terrify me too, but I’m used to it now 🙂 I was worried you’d be terrified, but from all accounts you rocked it! Well done, you. Can’t wait to see you speak next time!
You were amazing. It was so lovely to meet you x
You too! xx
