(Profesional speakers stand in awe of their peers who speak to teenagers. It's a rare talent.) If you're still working on building your confidence, consider joining a Toastmasters club. Go to www.toastmasters.org to find a club near you. Or look into a movement called "speaking circles." You can find out more about them at http://www.speakingcircles.com. Good luck. Chris Liz,

I need it to discover how to give better presentations and move into the area of talking to adults and away from my usual area of speaking with children and teenagers. I naturally gravitate towards being surprising and entertaining as a speaker, artistic, creative, spontaneous and detailed in facts, my style of speaking humour is partly that others laugh at my faux pas and I roll with it, while pressing on with my fact delivery and exploring depths of the topic I am passionate about and with to impress on people. I have a desire to influence others and sell my message. I have a desire to encourage people to act on it. I have in the past had a phobia about public speaking and I still find it hard learning to do it in different contexts. I struggle to feel valued in the different tasks I perform in my work that is what I am overcoming in order to speak to others. I get bogged down in detail while preparing a talk because of lack of confidence, great ideas come to me though. I wish to make the talk impacting even at the expense of decorum sometimes. Thanks for this article. You can write back to be with suggestions if you have time but I am sure you are very busy. Liz Titterington Student, Tabor Bible College, Ringwood East, Victoria, Australia.
