I seem to have lost control over my emotions. I just had a meeting with one of my bosses and while he's not the one to do my review he said he wanted to give me some feedback. He said overall I've been doing a great job but that when I run our monthly meetings I sound "nervous as hell". Silly me, I thought they'd been going well. He suggested that I sign up for public speaking courses after my "break". I could feel myself blush and came this close to tearing up. WTF? I need to be able to handle some criticism without crying. I am so mad at myself right now. Wow your boss seems kind of harsh. I think anybody would be upset hearing that from a boss even if not pregnant! Has anybody else ever told you to work on your public speaking skills? Not since my speech teacher/forensics coach in high school. I mean, I've pretty much been the designated person to read at family weddings/funerals and was recruited to start doing readings at church. Granted, those are reading from the written word vs. ad-libbing and he said that sometimes I get tongue tied. Part of what confused me is that after the first couple of meetings he was so full of compliments and I thought that things had been going well - so I don't really understand what happened. Heck, if he wants to make one of my goals public speaking it's not going to hurt anything - and to be honest I had been debating signing up for Toastmasters.
