Overcoming My Fear of Public SpeakingWith Amazon

This week, I had the opportunity to be a speaker at one of the breakout sessions at Amazon Accelerate.

It was an exciting and valuable experience even though public speaking has always been something I’ve been scared of.

At the start of the year, one of my New Year’s resolutions was to practice public speaking. So when this opportunity came up, I knew I couldn’t turn it down.

For those wondering: flights and hotels are covered by Amazon, and they also pay me $XXXX.
