When you've spoken to a big crowd, and somebody (especially a powerful person) tells you later that you aren't good at it, remember this:

     He's on trial, not you. 
You know you can make yourself clear to a big audience. If he can't understand you, well then, he's sexting somebody or he doesn't have the cognitive chops to understand what you're saying. That's sad for him, but not for you.

Remember this: people really want to hear what you have to say. They want to believe you. They want you to succeed.
