It’s kind of unreal when I think about it but I am now an award winning author AND an award winning speaker. It blows my mind because the introvert side of me still cringes when I think about getting on stage. Oh...trust me...I have a whole coaching session with myself before I speak sometimes.

Walking on stage only two things rang in my head:

1. Gurl...you better not trip up these steps 2. Gurl...you better not forget your speech

Although this is my second award, this is my first time giving an acceptance speech. (I nailed it just in case you were wondering. Lol) I had to 2 minutes to make an impact, give my shoutouts and leave my imprint on the SpeakerCon stage! I did it in 1 minute and 35 seconds.

There are a few things that stood out to me in this moment and a great reminder for every entrepreneur.

What are you preparing for?

Check out my acceptance speech on my IG @altoviseunmuted and let me know what you thought about it.
