Even just the thought of speaking TO people I don't know, let alone IN FRONT of people I don't know makes my chest tight and my stomach sick. I have recently decided to work from home instead of returning to shift work after the birth of our 3rd child. I'm finding it slow going due to my fear of speaking with people I don't know. Toastmasters sounds like a great way for me to overcome my fear in a controlled environment. Looked up the site on where to find a meeting (thanks Erin) and have found 2 in my area both are next week, so I'm committing!! I will head along as a guest and if it even comes close to the reviews on this thread than I think I'm sold.
