The exact text, line breaks and all

I was a good speaker.  I knew I could be better.

I took every opportunity to implement what I was learning outside of class.  I went to Open Mic nights, presented without slides, used Speaker Map.  In meetings where I attended as a participant, I did Thought Exercises:  if they asked me to take over right NOW - what thread would I pick up to take stage?  Every situation was an opportunity to practice what I was learning.  Still is.

I LOVE speaking!  I have a tool kit brimming with resources.
