So I gave my first speech at Toastmasters today, the "Ice Breaker." Barf. It actually went better than I thought it would, but still not great. I have a long way to go, but hopefully this will help build my confidence.
Good on you for getting that Icebreaker out of the way! Through a series of rather startling and unfortunate happenings, I gave my first icebreaker after about five minutes of notice. I'm working on my second run through the manual, since it's been several years.
This will get easier. You will be more confident. Enjoy the adventure! :)
Ice breaker is meant to leave you thinking I didn't do that well enough so it makes you prepare better for future projects. No one admires a smart ice breaker. If you are that good you have nothing more to learn :-)

Could we please keep it that way? I like my friends to have poor self esteem so
I can dominate them!!!!
This will get easier. You will be more confident. Enjoy the adventure! :)
