So, I keep referring people to this post, Ann as it is a great story about overcoming (or at least sharing) our self doubts with others.

Ann, OK, glad it’s not just me. Don’t we all feel this way every now and then (usually before we walk into a meeting with a prospective client)?

We tend to think a lot (cough -to much-cough) about perception and image. The (not so) simple act of standing up to say these things proves they can’t actually defeat you.
Thanks!
