That's tough - I used to have a real problem with public speaking (I even used to have an unreasonable phone phobia) - my "crutch" (if you want to call it that) that I used was to be hyper prepared for my talks including practicing in the mirror and timing it (still was nervous, but less so). I can't imagine not knowing what I will be speaking on ahead of time, giving less time to do that. I wish you all the best luck. I only got over mine by doing it a LOT (aka teaching a lot to large groups of students). Just takes time and experience. So think positive. This week will be one more step toward getting more comfortable with it.

- Ant Farm I haven't done much public speaking so this is a big step. We will have fro. Tomorrow to Friday to prepare it. I have always worried myself sick which is bad and once I couldn't give it as I was so sick. Thanks for the encouragement I know I will need it.

Well, all I can say is, I've been there, and lots of other folks have been there, and it's normal to be nervous. Just do your best - that is all anyone can ever expect of you. Get lots of sleep (as much as you can) this whole week, because sleep is something you can "bank" - if you're really nervous, you may have trouble sleeping the night before, but if you're well rested from earlier in the week, that will make it easier. Also, eat hyper-healthy (not too much caffeine or sugar) so you feel well - just take care of yourself. And most of all, be KIND to yourself. NO internal negative speak in your head - if you do start to do that, then just interrupt it. That's a skill that gets easier with practice as well. (Ask me how I know...)

I'll be pulling for you, and you'll be in my thoughts this week.

That doesn't work for me - not good for the concentration. Too much fun.
