Here's another to consider. Ian, the main character in my book, had big time fears of public speaking. But in order to become a manager in Santa's workshop he had to undergo some training which, of course, included a speech class. What to do? He asked Google and one of the suggestions was to mingle with the audience before an event whenever possible. In his case he helped Elise, a good friend and classmate, with some administrative duties before class. Going around the room and interfacing with other students made him feel like a host. It was a great confidence builder! All the best! Eric Dana Hansen Author of "IAN, CEO, North Pole" www.ianceonorthpole Your points are good. Here’s another to consider.
