Speaking in front of large groups

https://www.periscope.tv/1MillionCupsATW/1lDxLNzANYbGm?t=13

Haven't spoken in front of large groups in awhile and boy can you tell I am rusty.  Ummms and ahhhs.  Not using exact terminology that I know, but haven't used it in awhile.  I really need to be more comfortable before I teach a class this spring at St Norbert's College.  Did not realize how rusty I was.  I also rushed through my presentation, need to pace it better and relax,  So this is my first post for this blog.  Still love tea.  My other blog was Steeping, reaping and cooking my way through life is no more.  Wish I could just add this to that one, but cannot get my old logo off my older blog.  Oh well, hopefully someone can help me with this.  Prefer not to start completely from scratch.
