NEWSFLASH: I rock.

My company has a 1.5-day new-hire orientation. I talk to the newbies for 5-10 minutes about their commute options near the end of the first day. I try to make it as much like a game show as possible.

I've always been terrified of public speaking. I over-planned. I took a class with on-camera coaching. I "glowed" more than I wanted to. My voice quivered. But this job requires a weekly presentation to a large group. I've come to enjoy it!

It showed. The evaluation form asks which presenter "rocked", and a new hire wrote down my name! These results have circulated.

Great job! You should celebrate, with a few good friends, who also believe that you rock.
