Great post. I agree and would take good coaching, class, etc. above ALL else. :thumb: Speaking of "Tougher audiences", you know there's no worse audience to speak to than a room full of teachers huh. :hihi:
As I typed it, I thought, "No, a room full of teachers is the worst audience." I can't name the number of inservices I've attended where we heckle the presenter--or worse. The best example of this would be my year at the Plano Writing Institute where I and a group of secondary teachers tortured a pompous professor from UTEP. He left the workshop a day early, but we still got our college credit for the institute.
