One week until my TEDx talk🎤
It turns out that after decades of speaking English competently, all it takes is preparing for a TEDx Talk to completely forget how language works...
For reasons I can't explain, whenever I try to say certain words, this is now what comes out:
❌ Meaningful → Meaningfuel
❌ Shrink → Shwink
And my personal favourite…
❌ Partnerships → Parsnerships
I've rewritten parts of the talk because there are some phrases I apparently cannot be trusted to say under pressure 😂
One week to go.
The good news: I know the content.
The bad news: The English language remains under review🎤
