wi talk

[avissa]

Hi there

I've been asked to do a talk next friday (20th Oct) by the womens institute on Reflexology and Hopi Ear candles and i'm scared lol.

just wondered if anyone had any tips at all i've never done anything like this before. Its for 45 minutes with a demo on each therapy and Q & A session afterwards. I only qualified in reflexology in june but i do feel i know my stuff although i'm sure i'll forget what a foot is when the nerves kick in.

I would be grateful for any advice

Hi Sam,
I've done a couple of WI talks and yes I was nervous too. Mine were onIHM. The way I did it wasby introducing myself and talking about the therapy, finding a volunteer and then while I was doing the massage I asked them if they had any questions please to just ask them. Thisworked for me as I wasn't just stood up there talking I was actually doing something instead of being nervous and fidgety(which I would have been!)They all enjoyed it,everyone was kept interested and there were loads of questions.
Once I actually started doing the therapy any nerves I had just went. I really enjoyed it.

Good luck on the day

Helen
