My First Podcast on the Topic of Coffee

I dread public speaking. I don't have any experience with it and was horrified by the thought of getting up in front of my class and freezing, not knowing what to say next. I struggled with what to say to my colleagues during my farewell party when I left my job seven months ago, embarassed that I was tripping on my words.

I have now learned the secret from my husband who has had to do countless presentations in university and in his field of work. Be prepared! Practice, practice, practice! Go over your material endlessly until you are comfortable with your topic and get a natural feeling for what you need to say.

Wow, did that ever help! In the end, I felt I gave a decent presentation in front of my classmates. I surprisingly wasn't even that nervous or concerned about "how" I sounded (which has been a bit of a hurdle for me).
