Paula - Wow, what a memory! You are right. I thought the Net exam would be tough, but several people on the list said it wasn't as bad as you expect. That is encouraging.

Hey, 80% now - so you have the networking exam left - right?

Another vote for Toastmasters. I participated for about 5 years. I find the fundamentals they drill into you helps even in informal business discussions. Clear communication helps all around. Highly recommended. http://www.toastmasters.org/ <http://www.toastmasters.org/>

Whilst I've never been to Toastmasters, I've a number of friends who (when they changed from technical to managerial) swear by the benefits - so I indirectly recommend the organisation vigorously.

Unfortunately I'm stuck with the opposite affliction of too much liking for public speaking. Generally my presentations conclude with:

"Excuse me Mr McDonald. Its building management here.  Everyone's gone home. You've run over your 1 hour timeslot by 3 days...Get out of our building or we call security! And get that stupid grin off your face"

:-)
