The New Board

Palms Neighborhood Council was seating the new board tonight. First off, saying good bye to the old one.

Then swearing the oath and welcome the new board. Happy to see a younger board with fresh thoughts, but definitely not enough girls. Let’s fix that for 2016.

I left my election report. Probably my worst report so far as I can not speak in front of 5 or more people at once, specially when it’s a bunch of new people that don’t know me.
After I left my report, I felt really intimidated and my confident was down the drain and I was thinking I should probably work on my public speaking skills. But do I really need to? I actually have no desire of doing speeches in front of a public, I like sitting in the background and I think I can do a better job if I am left in a dark room where I don’t have to speak to anyone. But yeah, you have to get out of your comfort zone every now and then to grow as a person.
I also think that if I were to speak about something that I had more experience in, like how to bake a bread loaf, how to tame a young horse or how to build a website, I would do a better job.
Teaching people stuff – fairly good at. Report back and re-tell stories – very bad at.
