Most people would do just about anything to avoid having to speak in front of people. In fact, as I am sure you
already have heard, public speaking is even listed above death as the ten greatest fears! Check the link below for more
detail. BUT, most of us find that, at some point, we are expected to speak to a group of people. If you desire
to be a successful business person, you must possess an ease in front of people and a confidence when asked to speak.
Public Speaking does not have to be overly stressful. Butterflies are always good because that small amount of
stress keeps you sharp, but stress to the point of extreme discomfort can hinder your business, and even your entire career.
There are definite steps to overcoming the fear of speaking in public. In fact, many people find that when they address
their fears and learn the steps to successful speaking, they not only lose their fear but they find it invigorating and
very fulfilling. This class will teach you how to craft a speech and deliver it with ease.

The “Spirit of Citizenship” monument dedication is now a memory, a wonderful night of
pride, patriotism and unity. I was glad to have played a part in its success. Rita, you gave us chills and made
us cry with pride as the monument was lit. Your emotion was contagious. Thanks for sharing your voice and talent.
It made the closing perfect.
