I'd be interested in those videos, I saw a section for videos here but couldn't see any related. May someone can link them? |

| I've always found it easier to give a speech than participate in a group discussion. I like that I can rehearse the speech in advance and I don't have to think on the spot or deal with rapid subject changes or social cues. I've always found it helpful to do lots of rehearsing and make notecards of ... |

| Thanks to all of you for your precious tips. Only thing I forgot to mention is that I won't be standing in front of the audience, the class arrangement will be like this: http://wordpress.viu.ca/ciel/files/2014/01/horseshoe-desks.jpg This is the worst setting I can imagine because I'll be surrounded... |

| To speak in front of a group, what I do is convince myself that I'm someone else, preferably someone powerful that has/had an influence on others. It gives me a lot of confidence. Plus, if I make a mistake, it's not really 'me' that's made a mistake, it's someone else... 8O what do you do to convin... |

Social skills, math, language, art... there are hundreds of things a human can do, and not two can do the same And what if you suck at all of those things?
