My job can be tedious from time to time. I have content experts I work with but for the most part I work by myself drafting training materials and synthesizing information. But today, I got to do something I love. Present. There are few things in my life that give the same level of energy as getting up in front of a crowd of people and educating them on a topic. I love, love, love it. It's like a high. And I don't get to do it nearly as much as I would like. Granted, once the session is done, it feels a lot like coming down off a high. I am tired, a little out of it and hoping for the next fix. Which looks like it will come on Monday!
I have been told that public speaking is often a person's biggest fear. This boggles my mind, not that I think people who feel that way are wrong, just that even when I am nervous, once I get going in the session, everything else goes away. Whatever I was worried about disappears. I don't see what is happening behind me, only with the people in front of me and on my presentation.
Oh well, back to my dreary desk with no windows. Can't wait to experience the high again on Monday.

*I always try to comment from work and it doesn't work! Otherwise there'd be lots more comments from me!*
MY biggest fear is snakes. Not public speaking - ha! Actually I don't like public speaking at all. Give me a song to sing, a monologue to do, a scene to act out and I have NO problem, but just ME as ME up there speaking makes me incredibly nervous. Weird. It's really awesome that you get to do something you love and are so passionate about (and good at!) sometimes during your work. Will your job expand/change/allow you to do more of such activities??
