If you speak publicly you will inevitably make a mistake or experience a blooper. If it hasn’t happened yet, it will. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be a show stopper if dealt with properly.
I get some of my best material and content when I make a mistake. I have learned, with time, not to react negatively to these. Instead I embrace them as an opportunity to show my personality. They are frequently a good source of spontaneous humour. I don’t do them on purpose and I don’t look for mistakes to happen. This make my response to them that much more genuine and effective.
The next time you experience a mistake or blooper don’t react negatively to it. Use it as an opportunity enhance your unique style.
