FROM FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING TO MY 18TH SAMSUNG TRAINING SESSION
Yesterday was my 18th Samsung workshop. I’ve run a lot of training sessions over the years, but was one of my best. Everyone got involved, tried things out and found what AI could do for them. I helped a few people replace the third party apps they’d been using with the real AI apps. We went through the RTIF prompting method, and I sat with attendees on their own phones and showed them how to write better prompts and get better results.
Then came the fun part. We made professional LinkedIn headshots, turned ordinary photos into portraits with luxury designer suits and handbags, and looked at practical ways to use AI in daily life and business. The energy was unreal. People didn’t want to go home. The questions kept coming and nobody wanted to stop experimenting.
One thing for certain is you must make sure your spelling is correct. Look at the doctor’s headshot and you’ll see he’s wearing a headset. In my haste I didn’t notice I had typed headset instead of headshot in the actual prompt, so the AI did exactly what I asked and put a headset on the doc.
This one meant more to me than the others. I was a shy, fearful kid. I was scared of the dark, scared of girls, scared of speaking up, and most of all scared of standing in front of people. Public speaking was my biggest fear by far. Today I stand in front of audiences, make them laugh, answer their questions and enjoy every minute. We get so busy moving forward that we forget to look back and see how far we’ve come.
Eighteen sessions at Samsung. When I think about where I started, I feel proud. Not because I’ve become some great speaker, but because I beat something that once had a hold on me. That frightened boy would never have imagined this life. The best reward is watching people leave my sessions excited, confident and ready to use what they learned.
Thank you Samsung for the continued opportunities and thank you to everyone who has ever attended one of my sessions. This journey taught me that the things we fear most can become the things we love doing. And yes, I’m proud of myself. This is a big one for me.
