I was invited to give a lecture at Kings College London, however it wasn't the University that invited me, it was a student. In fact the University didnt even know I was coming.
This 2 o clock lecture was filled with a mix of 1st year Medic and neuro science students. A class made up of roughly 400 people. You can imagine how petrified I was.
I hadn't prepared what I was going to say, that was all part of the challenge. Immediately after the lecturer of the previous lesson finished , I pounced. I jumped on stage and began. On that stage I experienced one of life's rare highs.
Fortunately it was all filmed otherwise no one would have ever believe what happened. As I began to teach on the intrinsic relationship between neuro-science and story telling, the real lecturer arrives!
What do you do? I told her she was late and to hurry up and sit down. What was I thinking?!
Lesson learnt; some of life's most precious events happen when you take the dive.
