You will do a great job! They always say that being nervous is a good thing. You know your subject. Simply act as if they are your friends and use the same enthusiasm you have when you get something new, or do something that works.

You will do fine, obviously you are very talented or they wouldn't have asked you to speak. Just be sure to speak about something that you are very comfortable doing and it will go smoothly.

Please let us know when you get your book done and when your 1st tv appearance is--see I have lots of confidence in you!!!!

You may be nervous at first but once you start talking about a subject you know and love, you will be fine. Tape it if you can as when you are done you will not remember what you said unless you memorizr a speech and then it will probably get off track a little. Have fun, good luck, take care.

Yes, I'll be sure to let you know about the book bc I'm sure you will all want to come for the book signing. :lol:

Congratulations!! The nerves always come alive until you start the class, then they seem to dissolve because you will be talking about what you already know. Have fun!

Public speaking is the number one dread of most people. If you relax, talk about what you love and what you KNOW, (not what you think someone wants to hear). Just remember they are there because they want to hear what you have to share, and you will all enjoy the interchange. You will do fine. Just remember to breathe. Good luck and have fun!! :)
