I can pontificate, chew the hind leg off a donkey etc, but not in front of real, flesh and blood people. Gimme a pen, paper, a screen to hide behind and I'll tell you anything.

I always wanted ...Oh Laura--you have my dream job!! I always wanted to be a public speaker. I don't get nervous speaking to crowds--I really enjoy it. My professors in college told me I had a gift for it--and they helped me land a spot on local television for a debate. They were so impressed with me, they asked me back twice and asked me if I had ever thought of going into broadcasting. Funny, I had majored in journalism and communications, but I had a job in Logistics--which I needed to pay the bills--and I had no time to play in broadcasting for free as an intern. I had dreams of being a college professor--teaching in a university a subject (any subject really) and making it interesting--engaging the class--and having fun. I almost followed my dream--when I applied to become a speaker for a company that held corporate training events for companies in team building, workplace expectations, HR protocol and the like. They offered me the job and explained it was almost 100% travel and I could not do this with my kids. So I turned down the job offer and the dream job!! <br /><br />I think it is awesome that you get to speak publically!! How fun!! Thanks for sharing :) JennJennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559573562599754752noreply@blogger.com
