Well, today was my second go at public speaking - I had to do a 25minute talk at the Royal Aeronautical Societyapos;s "Women in Aerospace and Aviation" day. Luckily I was first on, after the introductions, so I didnapos;t have too much time to get nervous. I think it went OK - people politely laughed in the right places etc, and several people came to talk to me over lunch about what Iapos;d said - especially the bit about positive discrimination being as bad as negative discrimination......I was a bit shakey as I did it, but remembered to talk slower than normal, and emphasise points so that it didnapos;t sound like I was speaking in a monotone. This time I had the "distraction" of a presentation - just pictures to illustrate where I had worked, what an aircraft fuel system consisted of, and all the Airbus aircraft, so at least it gave people something to look at

Now Iapos;ve been asked to go and do another more general recruitment talk at Sheffield University in November.....

Having done this, I guess I ought to consider joining the Royal Aeronautical Society At the moment Iapos;m a chartered engineer, but through what used to be the Institute of Electrical Engineering (now IET), whereas possibly the RAeS may be more appropriate now
