'According to most studies, people's Number 1 fear is public speaking. Number 2 is death. This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.' -Jerry Seinfeld.

Are you nervous about making a work presentation or shuddering at the thought of giving the toast at your best friend's wedding? We are asked to speak publicly every day and yet many of us are petrified at the thought of standing in the spotlight in front of an audience.

This class is designed to give you tools and tips for overcoming your fears and connecting with a large audience. You'll get tips on structuring and delivering your speeches and you'll have an opportunity to practice your presentations skills in the comfort of this supportive group.

You will leave feeling confident about the skills that you have right now and armed with ideas for how to improve upon what you have.

Hi Edward, I didn't hear any reports on the scanner or from sources of crashes, rescues or hardRead More landings.

The public deserves an objective, unemotional, factual public debate on this proposition. So far IRead More am still leaning toward a yes vote, but I am keeping an open mind at least through this month.

Hey ladies, thank your lucky stars that you are not married to Batman. Can you imagine?

Holy cow! Half the Red Army is converging on this topic! Flanders, Robles and now Selkovitch! IRead More wonder where Paulson is? As a matter of fact Selkovitch, before the subversive (understatement) Marxists put their evil spell on America women were quite satisfied with their "lot" in life. And children were better behaved (not nearly the street gang problem we have now) and one income would support a family (what good is it for women to be working now anyway?). Where in the dictionary is subordinate synonymous with slave Selkovitch? Any successful system has to have a hierarchy or chain of command. Whether it's a business, community organization, government agency or family. You can't have two chiefs in a tribe, and you can't have two husbands in a household. It just doesn't work out. And that's where you sick puppies are laughing up your sleeves at everyone who takes your vomit seriously. Yes, women do need to take a subordinate role to men. It's the way they are designed. The alternative is for them is to take a subordinate role to government, which is the goal of the marxists. And we are seeing the results of that.

'Batman' said... 'Ron' May 22, 2013 at 01:30 pm "In other words Status, women in America haveRead More it made. No other nation in the world treats its women as well." I kinda' understood this to be what he meant and said. Hope that helps with your demonstrated lack of comprehension. Sophistication is deferred to 'Jac', as his advertised stock and trade. Somewhat up-a-tree, being a man... Women are so sophisticated, to not be embroiled in discussions of narrow minded-men and impertinent comparisons. The specialness of women in America, is deferred to regularly by lawmakers and empowered men - 'Ron'.

Well said, Nama. I was speechless to see how many people Uncle Ben had influenced during his life,Read More but it's no wonder. There may be one less Ben Taylor in our lives, but Heaven just got a whole lot more fun!

Thanks, Kyle for posting this. I'm not sure how things were in the past, but as a Patch editor, I'veRead More seen that blogging and engaging readers directly is a great way to market a book. Steve Repak, a financial planner with a military-themed personal finance book, blogs regularly on Patch and has recently been featured in National Media.
