Describe your idea of a perfect day spent with someone you care about.

  A perfect day spent with someone I care about would start with a late breakfast of pancakes and coffee. We’d then take a leisurely walk in a park, enjoying the fresh air. In the afternoon, we could visit a local art gallery or a cozy bookstore, discovering new favorites together. For lunch, we’d find a charming café to relax and chat. Later, we might hike to a scenic spot or spend time at the beach, enjoying the sunset. In the evening, we’d cook dinner together, try a new recipe, and wrap up the day watching a movie or stargazing, cherishing the special moments we shared.

This experience encouraged me to share my ideas more confidently, despite the fear of negative feedback.

What do you think are your biggest strengths as a speaker? What challenges do you face when presenting in front of an audience?

My strengths as a speaker include connecting with the audience, being well-prepared, and having a passion for the topic.

To improve, I can practice mindfulness for anxiety and seek feedback to enhance my engagement and pacing. Embracing both strengths and challenges will help me grow as a speaker.
