On arrival I was fortunate to find at least one staff member - Bongani - waiting outside the premises before opening time. I had then taken the initiative to make some small talk with him. This chat to a staff member - who was going to be part of the audience - helped a great deal in calming my nervousness.
I know that after having done 8 of such talks already, nerves should not be a factor anymore. But the reality, in my case, is that I do still get butterflies in my stomach before addressing a new group. I think these nerves before addressing a group are a form of stage fright. I have heard some performers say even after many shows they still cannot get over it.
The motivational talk itself went well, I think. During the talk one or two staff members would nod their heads in agreement with some of my points. And this I found very reassuring. The biggest confidence booster, however, was seeing my newly found friend - Bongani - in the audience. Each time I looked in his direction he had this half-smile on his face. It was like he was saying(with this half smile): "You are doing ok. Keep going ".
