Jake was just a kid when his frustrated teacher lashed out at him about his oral report. It was embarrassing as she sharply criticized him in front of all his classmates. Being kids, many of them giggled, only making young Jake feel worse.
All that was decades ago, but Jake still has a hard time getting up in front of a group.
Next week he has the opportunity to make a presentation to an important corporate management team. If he’s successful, Jake’s efforts will snag is million dollar contract that could take his company to the next level.
But as the date approaches, Jake finds he’s practically shaking, terrified of standing up before the others and talking about what his service can do for them.
