The amount of confidence I have in knowing what I'm talking about definitely helps at work, but not other times. The first time I did some training in front of 20-30 people at work, I thought I'd be really nervous, but wasn't at all, and I attributed it to basically being an expert at the material (well, and it was pretty simple material, too).
Spoke at a wedding about a year ago and all I had to do was read, which I'm pretty good at, and I thought my leg was going to fall off from the shaking. Two minutes prior? I've got this. 30 seconds after? Life is normal once again. Those 45 seconds or 3 months or whatever it was really sucked though.
I've thought about doing Toast Masters... it would probably only be Hell the first handful of times.
