Relief
RELIEF.......In one of my comments, David said, "You sound really stressed out." And I was. I couldn't get over it. I'm usually so good at presentations. I was so prepared. I don't know when I've been so nervous!
Nevertheless, I stood up in front of my team and my management and the words just flowed. I was ready. I hit the groove. I looked calm. I looked like I knew what I was doing. And even better, I realized I DID and DO know what I'm doing.
Let me tell you folks, I didn't stand there thinking, "I don't have to be up here; I'm Windfall Woman and I don't need this money." But I DID need to know I could do it. I DID need to know that I could triumph over my anxiety and fear. I DID need to know that I not only know what I'm doing but I am DAMN good at it. That's what all of us need sometimes - to test our mettle and know what we are really made of - and to know that we are all DAMN good at something. You are DAMN good at something. Celebrate it.

You're so right. Nothing like a sense of accomplishment to lift one's spirits!
Good for you girl - you did hit your groove. I am a firm believer that if you are not a little nervous (or stressed) at a big presentation, test, whatever, then you are over confident. Those things that test us do make us better. Good job.
In my previous job in management before I was exiled I used to give many presentations. I miss that too. Now I'm just another employee number pushing paperwork.
Glad you nailed.
Way to go, WFW. We knew you had it in you.
Missed not seeing any new entries on your blog but now I see why! Let me judge your accomplishment by - as we say in the chicken business - that was a triple-yolker (and you don't see many of them). I was sure you had the grits in you to go get it and you did!!! Nobody can top you when you get yourself ready - I can just tell from what you write. Great accomplishment. Old Baldy
You are doing well my friend! *High Five*
Congrats!! So glad you made it through and with flying colors to boot! ;-)
