Facing Death

I faced death today. Well not quite, but I faced something that I fear much more terribly.

I gave my presentation on Project "Odyssey" - and to me Public Speaking is a fate much worse than death.

But with some thought, preparation and practice - I pulled it off. Used some segments from my Billabong Odyssey DVD which added some interest to a rather dull topic (the link between Big Wave Surfing and Business Process Reingineering was tenuous - but believeable) and got some good feedback from the audience (who I thnk could see that I am more passionate about the Ocean than IT!).

Only facing fear leads to growth.

I'm working my butt of for this one. The timeframe is ambitious but I trust that this Project is going to be my Opus.
