Thank you for the advice I will definitely try doing that. The other issue is that I have is the fear of speaking to large groups of people(say a meeting, wedding etc) and I realize the only way you can truly get good at public speaking is to practice actually doing it. I understand that there is a meeting here offered on a Saturday once a month or so but I work on Saturdays. I have thought of registering for Toast masters but I think that would be too overwhelming w my speech issue. I guess my question is are you aware of any other forum or group that perhaps could be small group practice?
Thank you Javier
