Hi Mysha67. If you can just set aside your insecurities - don't believe the inner negativities - and go ahead with the speech, it will be a personal achievement which will help boost your self confidence. Begin working on your speech, get it over with, so to speak, and then do small things to help with your self esteem and self confidence. You can do it Mysha67, and you'll be very proud of yourself. Everybody will be.
