Conversationally Speaking

Fear of public speaking is No.1.
Overcome Your Fear of Public Speaking
Knocking knees, butterflies (who came up with that word?) in your stomach, sweaty palms, quavering voice. We've all been there - some of us more than others.
Speak Up or Sit Down
Last night the phone rang; my wife said, "I hope it's for you". When I answered, the caller asked, "Ray, would you speak to the Lions Club next month?" First my gut said, "No"; however, my head said, "Do it".
Start Conversations as Easily as You Start a Car
Starting a car is easy. Put the key in, turn it, and the car starts.
