Well, I am not really an introvert (like, at ALL) but I do have a LOT of anxiety. The fact that I threw a hissy fit and spewed on my blog regarding an aspect of this conference is probably just going to add to that. What I'm going to have to do is remember I am not the only person there with anxiety or worry or fear and that what I am worried about probably doesn't matter a fig to the people there.

my number one tip would be to not show up till Saturday, then you can't be forced to speak..that is totally working for me right now, even if I'm at risk from bludgeoning from certain famous bloggers who are speaking at blogher, hopefully I'll still get to sit with her at breakfast. brits last blog post..Let’s talk about me…

Does it help to know that I'd love to hear your talk? Which does come first, anyway? I'm sure you'll be great. One foot in front of the other, and all that. Plus, afterwards, there's wine. Keep it in perspective! Hip Mom's Guides last blog post..Room to Roam

Remember that you are an accomplished and competent young woman. Your voice needs to be heard to share experiences and knowledge. People are not there to evaluate you. They are there to listen to your imput and gain from it. Those who choose to be evaluative or judgemental in any way aren’t worth your energy or time. They have their own issues. Find your inner calm and confidence. Keep breathing! It gets easier each time you put yourself out there. Just take those steps. The resulting glow of completing your presentation will be a natural high that will last and be relived until the next time!

Last years BlogHer put my fears aside as far as having a good time. The only thing I’m fearing now is the fact that I have to switch planes in DFW coming and going. This makes me nervous. I’m sure it will all be fine, but I worry about getting lost in airports and not knowing what to do.

But this year’s BlogHer is going to be so much fun. I want to say MORE fun than last, but I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Of course I wish my dear Isabel and Stacy could be there, but this year will have Rhi and Sizzle and lots more boozing in a city that I won’t melt to death in.

Of course I’ll be right there in your session soaking it all in. I need all the help I can get.
