Hi Laura, Thank you so much for the donation to IFAW, that is so very generous of you and greatly appreciated! I had a great time last week, I will definitely go and leave a positive review and recommend this course to others. I will have to work up the courage to watch the videos (heh – I think that is harder than actually giving the presentation sometimes!) but I will do it, and I am going to try thinking about life as a series of stories and practice keeping my ‘inner voice’ in storytelling mode, maybe it will help identify stories to tell! Thanks again for everything! Best, Sheryl F. -

The Art of Dynamic Speaking—2-Day Workshop
When you're intimidated by something like public speaking, it's so easy to feel alone--which just compounds the anxiety. But meeting you guys and being reminded that many of us are in the same boat--and more importantly--that it's something we are working to overcome was a big part of what I took away from this experience. Thanks for your bravery. I found you all inspiring. Thanks, Ron -
