Her stage fright moment

In her first meeting in Toastmasters club in Washington, USA. She was asked to stand up and speak.

Stand-up comedy

She was convinced that she was not funny until 77 and saw the world with comedian eyes.

She started in gigs when she took a workshop and the trainer told her “we teach you only if you go out at least 20 times”. That was the beginning.

“I always have pleasure to do it”. A huge hight to be with the audience.

Favorite quotation

“You are never too old to begin something new, to learn something new.”

Routine to Shine

Practice the “Power of Pause”. Pause before you speak, look at the audience eyes. Pause before a punchline. Use the pause to look at people.
