I know what you mean about getting out of your comfort zone. I chose Public Relations and Communicating on Television. I'm scheduled to give my first speech from one of these books on January 15th. I'm not sure what I'll do yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing! Hi Dan! I know what you mean about getting out of your comfort zone.

Projects like Research, Persuasion, Inspiration and techniques that include using Visual Aids and Vocal Variety all make us confront more than our fear of public speaking. But, the environment is so supportive that broaching these subjects doesn't seem to ever bother the speaker. After completing the CC manual, I have purposely chosen Advanced Manuals that are far from my comfort zone, including Humorously Speaking and Storytelling. With the support, encouragement and advice of my fellow Toastmasters, I am gaining ground on two types of speaking that I would previously try to avoid.
