The first time I did it at the RNA conference I dried up completely but my audience was very kind and stuck with me. I suppose it's something to bear in mind that most people don't actually want you to stand there mortified and will throw you a line.<br />Sorry not to have caught up sooner - I do hope the frozen shoulder has thoroughly thawed out now!

It used to be a major part of my job at one stage and I used to go sick on those days as I was literally terrified. Even at Al-anon meetings when we used to speak individually in a group about our take on a particular subject I used to hate it and could not relax (which was the whole object of the exercise of sharing our experiences). Well done, if you can do it.ADDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018958238940897902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-52112012784682194002017-03-15T12:15:02.153+00:002017-03-15T12:15:02.153+00:00DC - I don't mind doing them now but some are ...DC - I don't mind doing them now but some are better than others! I did one talk where they fed me beforehand and I felt I did a really lousy talk. They bought quite a lot of books actually, but I wasn't happy with it.
