I also have to speak impromptu - usually with very little notice. Its gone well to date but I find I have to quash an onslaught of nerves and keep my hands hidden in the moments just before. Once I start talking I'm ok. Toastmasters a few years ago really helped. Crazy this disease - some tasks it incapacitates, others it gifts.

When I talk impromtu, I'm fine its the knowing ahead of time that I've got
to talk that makes me really nervous.

And when I have a 2 hour presentation. I'm getting a lot better.

I used to have a real problem with my asthma, it really would start to
make me cough through the whole presentation. So it made it really
hard to talk.

So the main office had me presenting with a co-worker, who is so good
that she is now the main one doing our webinars. So they think of her
as "god" so to speak.

But they have decided she wont be coming down now. Which I had already
decided I was ready to do it by myself. And had been choicing some to do myself. So it wasn't a problem.

I'm really okay with it.

But I still have those butterflies if I think it might be a crowd.

Okay, I got all 5's on the comment sheets. This is very good. Now
I just hope my supervisor doesn't think its not their scores.

Because it really is. I am surprised usually at least one of the scores
will be a 4 or 3 instead.


I didn't get a lot of comments in the comment part. Which isn't unusual.

Especially, when the group is so small and they are professionals instead
of parents. But one was both a parent and professional but because
the democratic sheet says mark one she didn't mark that she is both.

Ugh, most people mark both. So I had to change it. And need to put
a note on the age of her son. So we will see.

Its to important for our grants.

But I was so happy. I just hope my supervisor is.

They both plan to come to the one on November 20th. Which is good
for me. Its another workshop.
