Speaking
I’m relatively new to the professional speaking circus (ehm, circuit, I mean), but since my background is in performing, my presentations definitely bring a room to life.
My philosophy (in poetic format):

I give this life my all;
Sometimes I stand; sometimes I fall.
On days when I fall,
I look up and reflect.
On days when I stand,
My life feels correct.
However I land,
On my feet or my back,
I go on with a smile
And some plan of attack.
Most important of all,
Though I stand and I fall,
I answer the call:
Do your best, give it all.
