Today I took the first step in something new. I signed up for the Academy for Professional Speaking. I've been doing public speaking for awhile now, mostly because of my involvement with my professional organization and my current position with my job. I have found that I frankly love it.
It's time to step out of the box and do something with it that's bigger than what I've done so far. I have had a long time desire to belong to the National Speakers Association and some day to get that profesional credential as a Certified Speaking Professional. It's not an easy process, nor is it a fast one, but at least, TODAY, I am on the way! Stay tuned!

WOO HOO! Go Girl
I know that Toastmasters also is a public speaking club. One time at our county fair, there was a booth of Toastmasters. If you could talk about something they chose for 15 seconds without saying, "um" you won a prize. I was wearing kitty earrings, so she asked to tell her about my kitties. I did and did not say "um" and won the prize. It was some little pin or something it think. But sounds like fun and a good skill to have, that's for sure.
