I'm a little skeered right now. On Tuesday, I'm chairing my soon-to-be-ex homegroup (b/c I'm moving.) I had an old discussion group that I chaired a lot before, but this meeting is a lot bigger.
I don't have "stage fright" by any means. I like public speaking! However, if I have to say anything remotely personal to a group, then I get nervous. I have to introduce my leads this month and comment afterward. I don't like commenting, unless I feel I have something to contribute.
Why am I getting all twitter-pated for no reason? Just felt like rambling. Should I picture the audience in their underwear or something? I am sooo not used to having stage fright. What gives?
I recently chaired one of my meetings for the month of July. I was so very nervous as it was my first time chairing. But, I organised my speakers and made sure that they had a lot more sobriety than I have. At the start of the first evening I was petrified, but after a few minutes I started to really love it.
I'm not overly-confident at public speaking, but that experience has given me a super boost. If I was nervous, I just told everyone and then did my best.
But, I know that you'll be fine.
Take care and let us know how it goes, won't you?
Carol
