A single “yes” to one of these questions might be enough of a reason to go for it:
Will the ideas you share make a profound difference in your audience’s life?
Is your story inconvenient but your audience needs to hear it?
Can you grow personally by preparing for, showing up, or speaking up at this event?
Does the thought of standing on that stage make you feel excited?
Is there a reasonable chance your insights could spark meaningful conversations within the audience?
Are you providing a voice for those who cannot speak up in this context?
Will sharing your experiences or knowledge help others navigate their challenges more effectively?
What would you add?
