In this brief motivational monologue, speaker coach Sally Koering Zimney candidly shares her moment of self‑doubt before a talk, fearing she might "crash and burn." She draws on personal experience and observations of many others to recognize this familiar low point, then deliberately chooses to "trust the process" of creating a talk. By persisting through the discomfort, she moves forward, ultimately feeling proud of her work. The core message is that developing a presentation is a deliberate, non‑shortcut process that requires patience and self‑encouragement.

Do I even know what I'm talking about? Like, I am about to crash and burn in a talk as a speaker coach. This is not good. But I recognized this moment because I've seen it in myself before and in hundreds of other people. So I knew I needed to trust the process and I kept at it. And I moved through it and I got to a place where I was proud of what I had created. And believe me, I had to say to myself in some really low moments, trust the process, Sally, trust the process, trust the process, because oh my gosh, process. Creating a talk is a process and you cannot shortcut it.
