I have to concentrate.

Next question, Kim.

Well, I think you can't go into it just a cold turkey.

You should be doing some kind of speaking either at your school or your church or your synagogue or wherever you might be.

And so you do it in small doses before you go up in front of a big audience.

You know, we...

We talk all the time, but we are usually talking one-on-one or with one other person.

And that builds your confidence to go in front of a larger group.

We're now used to it.

But most people, when they're speaking, they need to build their confidence and go slow.

In everything you do, start small and then progressively go up.

It would be more disheartening if you get before a large audience and freeze.

So try practicing either in front of relatives or in front of

your office staff or whoever is working with you and see how it goes and let them critique it and tell you what they liked and what they didn't like.

And I don't think you should worry about it.

I mean, you get better each time you do it.

So if the first one wasn't that terrific,

By the second or third time, you will feel more at ease and the subject will come across much better to your audience.

Yeah.

I don't know.
