Willie --
Yes, Public Speaking 101 is EXACTLY what I need. I'm not experienced, at all. The audience will be mostly college students, mostly women, and probably largely athletes, we're guessing 100 to 300. It's "Women's Week" on campus, and this particular day is "Women in Athletics". They have a pro basketball player (female), I'm not sure whom, and I think an OSU coach (female), and an historian who is doing a PhD thesis on women in sports. I get an hour, with whatever AV stuff I want, and must leave another 30 minutes for questions and discussion. I've got a lot to live up to because my son has made a big splash on campus, in terms of politics, and I will need to measure up as his mother. In fact, the reason I get to share billing with all these illustrious athletes is that I "must be substantial to have raised such an amazing young man." I definitely plan to take another official with more experience, and higher level experience, to help me out. But what does one say of value, when all the other speakers are professionals with years of experience and background?
