Talky talky

I just found out that I have to give a presentation at work in a few weeks. Peers & big wigs, a room full of people I respect and who think I am reasonably intelligent and articulate. I would like very much not to disabuse them of that image. But I have a history of failing at stuff like this spectacularly. There is one law school public speaking story I didn't even blog because it was so humiliating -- and shoot, I love blogging about being humiliated. Sure, I've done well with it too... but my confidence is shaken.

Here are my promises to myself:

1. No Power Point. Power Point makes presentations interminable. Power Point is the devil.
2. No hands shaking, voice quaking nervousness. This is not a big deal.
3. No crying. I mean it.
4. Keep it in the time limit.

Everything after that is cream cheese.
