THE COURAGE CONFERENCE!
What Would You Do if You Weren’t Afraid?
January 24, 2015 1:00pm-5:00pm
Meralco Mini-theatre
August 20-23, 2014. We were in Kuala Lumpur Convention Center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
I (Sha Nacino) together with other toastmasters delegates from the Philippines, were so excited to attend the Toastmasters International Convention for the very first time. For the past 90 years, the annual conventions were held in North America. 2014 was the first time that the most prestigious convention in the Toastmasters Community all over the world was held in Asia.
There were so many exciting things we looked forward to. The World Championship of Public Speaking. The Plenary Speakers. The Keynote Speaker (Yes! There are many plenary speakers but there is only one keynote speaker). Meet toastmasters from Asia, America, Australia, Europe, South Africa.
There were 3,000 toastmasters delegates from 126 countries all over the world. Wow! Just Wow!
Then the keynote speaker started delivering his talk. You couldn’t help but be glued to his every word. He was very sincere and captivating. His name is Robin Sieger. He is an international bestselling author, wherein his books were translated into 18 languages. He’s a Scottish based in Europe.
He said, “One of the most important roles of a public speaker is to love the audience.”
The moment he said that, I told myself, “I like him as a public speaker. I wish more Filipinos could hear him speak. From now on, he’s my mentor.”
After his talk, I bought a copy of his bestselling book Natural Born Winners, lined up to get his autograph, and take a picture with him. I also gave him a copy of my latest book Money & Me.
That was it. Or so I thought.
A few weeks later, I received an email from the keynote speaker himself — Robin Sieger! I couldn’t believe it! He said he read my book Money & Me. He said great things about it. I was floored. Wow! Such a humble person! He is a very successful and sought-after speaker and author all over the world. He is a very busy man, but he actually took time to read my book and even send me an email about it!
And the best part??? He’s coming to Manila on January 2015! And you’ll have a chance to experience his expertise and charism in public speaking. But that’s getting ahead of the story.
The World of Toastmasters
I (Trixie Esguerra) used to be skeptical about the things I want in life because I thought that failure, pain & disappointment would be too difficult to handle.
I would always find myself self-handicapping until…
I joined Toastmasters 4 years ago.
I never thought that that night I stepped into their meeting room would be totally life-changing for me!
Toastmasters has allowed me to love myself and the people around me more and more, discover my talents, nurture my gifts and dream big!
When I figured what was the biggest thing I had to do to make my dreams come true, I realized it was that one thing that everyone of us has. We are just too afraid to make use of it. Maybe because we are scared of how powerful we all can become once we have mustered some of this trait.
A few months ago, during the Toastmasters International Convention in Malaysia, a very good friend of mine, Sha Nacino, who understands that fortune favors the brave, went up to this Superstar and dared to ask him a question that no one from the Philippines that I know of, did. The name of that Superstar is Robin Sieger.
That momentous encounter bore a beautiful fruit that everyone of us can enjoy this coming January 2015.
Sha and I are fulfilling another dream very soon. All because of one thing.
Courage.
What would you do if you were not afraid?
Weeks after the Toastmaster International Convention, Trixie and I were in a cozy restaurant in Makati City. We were having brunch while discussing the “theme” of the seminar we’re organising for January 2015.
We suggested a number of themes. But these have already been tackled in the previous seminars either by us or by other seminar providers. What else? What is the major burning question of the majority that we would like to address?
During the course of our discussion, she suggested we check out Instagram with hashtags related to passion, purpose, and inspiration. One question caught our attention and it was this:
“What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”
Trixie gamely posed the question to me and I was taken aback. It made me think.
Hmmmm… What would I do if I were not afraid?
I threw the question back to her and she, too, had to think really hard.
We smiled and agreed, this is it! Let’s address this burning question in our seminar!
Let me pose this question to you: What would you do if you weren’t afraid?
Tricky and interesting question, isn’t it?
What Are You Afraid Of?
I guess the first question we need to ask ourselves is this: What are we afraid of?
Are you afraid to start a business because it might fail and you’ll lose your hard-earned money?
Are you afraid to speak in front because you might be laughed at?
Are you afraid to pursue painting or singing as a profession because it might not put food on the table?
Are you afraid to say I love you to your family or your friends because you might be tagged as mushy or corny?
Are you afraid to leave the job that you don’t love and pursue your real passions because you’re too afraid to get out of your comfort zone?
Are you afraid to love again because you’ve been deeply hurt before and you’re afraid to get hurt again?
Are you afraid to dream big because you don’t want to have false hopes?
Fear is normal. There is always something that each of us is afraid of.
Apparently, fear is the very same thing that paralyses us from pursuing our higher goals. Fear prevents us from pushing ourselves because we’re afraid to try and fail.
If you’re afraid of something, that’s okay. But don’t settle at your fears.
You are meant to live a happy, inspired, and meaningful life.
You are meant to live the life you want to live.
You are meant to receive the blessings grace delivers.
But you have to face the thing that prevents you from achieving your dreams and becoming who you want to be.
You have to face your fears head on.

What Would You Do if You Weren’t Afraid?
As Jim Carrey says,
Fear is going to be a player in your life.. but you decide how much. The decisions we make in this moment are based on either love or fear.
So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality. You can fail at what you don’t want. So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.
As you start 2015, let this Courage Conference give you the boost and inspiration to dare to conquer your fears and live a life with full enthusiasm.
Don’t let fears limit your growth. Live to your fullest potential. Live the life you’re meant to live.
This is a Conference-for-a Cause. All the net proceeds for this seminar will go to Anawim, a home-for-the aged founded by Bo Sanchez.
Together, let’s face and conquer our fears.
Let our passion be greater than our fear.
Let our love to live a happy, inspired, and meaningful life be greater than your fears.
The key word is love (I don’t mean love life, although that may help). We mean love for life, love for the people around you, love for pursuing your calling and blessing a lot of people in return. Love. Because the only antidote to fear is love. And love casts out all fears.
