Florida National Dental Congress

    I'm on my way to the Florida National Dental Congress in Orlando.  I'm actually going to be a presenter this time.  Let me tell you something.  I'm the last person who would have ever thought they'd get up in front of an audience and speak for 2 hours.  I used to shake at the thought of talking in front of my class at school.  So, why would I do this to myself, not to mention my audience?
    I want to conquer my fears and not let fear control what I do.  I have found that I have the power to do that by changing and controlling the way I think about any given situation.  You can do it, too.  If there's anything that you'd like to do, think about me. 
    If you're going to be at the conference, stop by and say Hi.  Either way, think good thoughts for me and I'll report back when I'm done.

Hi Linda,

Thanks for sharing your public speaking success story. It gives me hope for my own development in the future.

I possess a wealth of information about marketing dental practices online, but I'm not sure if I could muster the courage to present it in front of a large audience at a conference.

Thank goodness for blogs. Communicating in print is a good first step toward tackling verbal presentations. Take care and best wishes!

Hi Erik, you can do it. Two great books, Speaking to Win by Brian Tracy and The Power of Positive Imaging by Norman Vincent Peale. If I can do it anyone can.
