Conference Presentation

[Tessa]

I have a fear of speaking in public and have been working with my psychologist for a year to give a conference presentation in front of 250 people. I did suffer from panic and ran to the toilet 6 times, however I did it. I was too scared to look at the audience however managed to keep my voice clear.

The audience loved it as I always speak from my heart and the Aboriginal Health Practitioner and I won the award for "Best First time Conference Presentation".

Dear Tessa, Way to Go!!!!! :) :) :) :) I'm so happy for you, and proud of you!!

And they say that's peoples' BIGGEST fear. And I know it's been hard enough lately, and always when others you need to don't or won't listen. But look at all those who 'heard' what you said. Reminds me of that saying "What comes from the heart reaches the heart". :)

Wow, you are amazing. :tup: :) :inlove: Congratulations!!!!

Thankyou so much for all the lovely responses. It is good to know people understand just how difficult it was to push though the fear. Many times I wanted to give up as we prepared however I told my psychologist that it was something I put on my bucket list and so I had to own the fear myself.

Tessa,

This was so good to read, as I have read about how much of yourself you put into your work. You are an amazing committed and compassionate person. This was a well deserved recognition.

Congratulations!

Debbie
