I always find it oddly comforting to see how nervous, and frankly awkward, Mark Zuckerberg can be on stage. I have a fine stage presence but it's somehow very encouraging that someone so successful can still sport such discomfort with important skills like public speaking.
- larrys 13y agoBeing able to be comfortable in front of people is a completely different skill set. There are 8 year olds that can be comfortable in front of crowds. There are people that are surgeons that can't get up the nerve to ask for an upgrade to first class at the airline counter. Or who wouldn't be able to negotiate down the price of a car. Has nothing to do with their ability to use a scalpel though.
