I also think that people don't realize how much "public speaking" they do every day and how they're probably pretty good at and comfortable with most of it!Lisa Braithwaitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203279973932837403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35758167.post-10136853077980356182009-05-19T14:50:53.694-07:002009-05-19T14:50:53.694-07:00when people tell me they hate public speaking, I a...when people tell me they hate public speaking, I assume the are uncomfortable with taking command and having everyone look at them.<br /><br />Dr. Letitia Wright<br />The Wright Place TV Show<br /> http://wrightplacetv.com<br />www.twitter.com/drwright1Dr. Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15809115987232853824noreply@blogger.com
