emotional self and our thoughts. Bring pen, paper, and water. Wear
comfortable clothes for movement.
Whether you get flustered at the drive thru speaker,
or panic at the podium, everyone suffers from anxiety at some point. You are

audience
·Understand the physical and
emotional changes related to anxiety

and pokes fun at our insecurities while helping us to realize that our input is
valuable and deserves to be shared. Extended workshop includes opportunity to
perform and receive constructive critique.
