You’re a Natural Communicator- You genuinely enjoy public speaking and feel energized (not drained) when presenting to groups
- You can read the room and adjust your approach based on the audience, whether they're quiet and hesitant or loud and enthusiastic

- You communicate clearly and concisely under pressure, making complex instructions easy to follow
- You have high-energy stage presence
- You can sustain your energy for 2-4 hours without letting the experience dip
- You have a sense of fun and warmth that makes people feel comfortable and excited to participate
- You can manage group dynamics: engage quiet participants, redirect talkative ones, and keep everyone on track
- You're comfortable "holding the room" maintaining control and attention even with distractions
- You can think on your feet: when tech fails, a partner is late, or the plan changes, you adapt seamlessly without visible stress
- You maintain professionalism while keeping things lighthearted and approachable
