No, we don’t want to hear about that time in high school when you fell asleep in math class and drooled all over your arm. We want to hear your most embarrassing public speaking moments!
What was the most awkward or cringe-worthy moment you’ve experienced while in front of an audience? Or, if you’re lucky enough to have escaped public humiliation thus far, what’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve seen happen to someone else giving a speech? (Play nice and don’t use real names, please.)
Did you go on stage with an unzipped fly?
Unintentionally say something wildly inappropriate?
Completely lose your train of thought?
Trip and fall while walking on stage?
Let an antagonistic audience member rile you up?
Please share your story in the comment section. Sometimes the best way to get over embarrassment and move forward really is to laugh at ourselves!
