Public speaking is a pretty common fear, but how do you feel about it?
Have you ever done it? If so, what's the biggest crowd you've ever spoken in front of?

Honestly, I love public speaking. I get the whole butterflies, and nervousness, anxiety - everything. But, I feel as though I know how to connect with any audience on any subject because of the way I speak. I can brush things / mistakes off easily and give the audience something to laugh at. I can be serious, and I can get points across. I am a more dominant personality, but I'm also passive, so I can lead - while listening. I also supervise 2 coworkers, and 28 students, so it just comes naturally. I've always been the type to break the ice, or help others become more comfortable with the area around them when they are uncomfortable. I think it all ties into the ability to publicly speak.
