I’ve heard nothing but good about Toastmasters. I still get somewhat nervous but being president of the PTA and having to get up in front of parents at least once a month and sometimes more often really was the biggest help for me. At first I practiced everything I had to say in front of my husband who, as a scientist, has to give public presentations all the time. I’m very glad I got the practice in, because now I have to go in front of planning and zoning boards several times a year. If worst comes to worse I agree you might want to try medication.
