What did I gain [from Power, Persuasion & Influence]?CONFIDENCE. I was soooo nervous right before I went up. Once I started thought, I was not at all nervous any more. That was VERY unusual for me. Normally my voice cracks, I hear tremors in my voice, my lips/face twitches and my heart beats uncontrollably. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN! Not sure why. . . I suspect that I felt really prepared.
