I received a hateful comment during a live session and this is how I handled it.

Once every few weeks I host a live online inspirational session. To grow the Stage Heroes community and because I love teaching about authentic presenting.

We’re 30 minutes in when this message (in the image) pops up in the private chat.

For a moment I’m thrown off my game. I’m relieved that the chat is private so I’m the only one who can see it.
I quickly move on with my story.
But I feel like a fraud for pretending I never saw it.

About 15 minutes later, I speak about how in order to be a confident presenter, you need to accept that you can’t be for everyone.

At the same time, so many smart and inspiring people avoid being visible because they fear being criticised.

I realise I have to be transparent about the comment I received earlier.
I read the message out loud and share how it made me feel.

Having haters is good news though.
It means that you’re touching something. For every nasty comment (on a social post or during a live presentation), you’ve also positively impacted many others.

I celebrate each of them.
As strange as it may sound, I send them love.
Someone who goes out of their way to criticise another person must be criticising themselves even harder. That must be tough and so I wish for their lives to become easier.

I later learned that the person who left this comment was present for 4 minutes out of a 90-minute session.
Know that when someone leaves a mean comment, it’s usually based on very little :)

How do you handle hecklers, haters, critics?

Do not do these three things, here's why:

Picturing your audience naked is just going to make you feel uncomfortable, nothing else. Don't do it.
"Hi, my name is..." is one of the most boring things to start with. Your opening has to be magic, it has to captivate your audience.
Pretending to be confident is different from actually being confident. First of all people are going to see, if you're pretending, second of all confidence is something that has to be built through experiences. You can't pretend your way into it.

Have you ever done any of these?

A couple of weeks ago we asked Stage Heroes community these two questions.

A lot of people feel like they're not good enough or they're not doing their job well enough. This makes them self sabotage with under preparing or over preparing. Sometimes both.

Of course to some extent it's normal for humans to comapre ourselves to other and sometimes feel bad about ourselves.

But if it starts to hold you back in life, and give up amazing opportunites, you might have imposter syndrome. This is something you have to learn to manage.

There is no straightforward guide to "heal" this syndrome, but talking can improve your personal and professional life a lot.

Do you struggle with imposter syndrome?

I've met plenty of people who have brlliant minds, and excellent ideas, but somehow can't communicate them to others.

It's a big problem, especially when you're an ambitious worker who wants to grow your career.

The harsh truth is that you can be the best worker, but if you don't present yourself well, no-body's gonna know how good you are.

People will reckognize workers who talk about their projects and communicate confidently when needed. Even if their work is not the best.

Therefore it's essential to learn how to communicate and present yourself.

I have a solution for you.

Let's tackle one of the most popular questions.

How do you calm yourself before a presentation?

The biggest part of this is to observe what do you feel. Do you have too much adernaline, or are you so nervous you can't breathe?

Another thing you can do is to understand that being nervous is normal. You're human, and it's a stressful situation to be in. It's completely normal to be nervous.

You don't have to push it away. You don't have to feel differently. It's not wrong to feel nervous.

Accepting yourself and your nerves will help you feel calmer.

No matter in what field you are, good storytelling will give you a great advantage.

People have told stories from the beginning of times, and there's a good reason for it.

Stories are filled with emotions. That's why we remember them better than plain facts or statistics.

Adding stories to your presentations is a game changer. Collecting pocket stories and practising these in your daily conversations will level up your communication skills.

It will be slightly easier if your speaking power is the storyteller, but don't you worry storytelling is also a skill you can learn.
