I spoke out about a year ago & was very nervous. About 200 people. I am an Electrician not a public speaker but lots of people came up to shake my hand when I had finished. I would like to think I was a very positive person that wont say I can not do it. Off to York for a few days hol ! Will let you know how it goes. 🙂 Thks for all the nice comments
 
Best of luck, have fun....
 
Its a talk to College staff about what to look for students having Hypo etc. If you had to describe a Hypo to strangers it is not straight forward. I know my head is in the sky & will not be told what to do. Life ?

Great news HOBIE glad you had them sucked in haha
 
Well done Hobie. You did really well talking to so many people. Glad they paid attention 🙂
 
The weeks before I was doing my normal work etc & every so often I was trying my best to think how to describe a "HYPO" to some fairly intelligent people. There was lots of questions from them & I hope it might help a few students, A positive day ! 🙂 Thank yo for the nice comments 😉

I'm so pleased for you Hobie that your talk went down well. By the sound of it you made a good & hopefully a lasting impression - and you should be just as proud of yourself as we are of you. Well done x
