I never thought that I would be into public speaking, however I do enjoy it. Still, I get a bit of butterflies in my stomach before its my time "to go on". I wanted to make a list of the events that I've spoken at before to remind myself that things will be ok. Not all of these are "public" per se. Some of them are at private events. I find that even if I'm unprepared, if I know the topic, I still do pretty well and people seem receptive to my speeches.
