I was 5...I moved to a new area just five years ago. I was 50 and I still felt like a new kid on the block.<br /><br />I was asked to serve as one of the leaders for a large organization.<br /><br />I arrived to my first meeting and took my seat around a huge conference table. I didn't know anyone.<br /><br />When the meeting began the agenda was to plan a three day youth conference for 200 plus teenagers.<br /><br />This was right up my alley. The topic and assignment was very comfortable but being the newbie was not.<br /><br />So, I sat back and just listened for a bit. It became very clear that my leadership as an event planner was needed to help move the meeting along. So, I spoke up and got to work. By the time the actual event rolled around three months later I had made dozens of new friends and I felt like one of them.Grandma Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409943377698851040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-21898417239343636152010-10-04T06:21:59.514-06:002010-10-04T06:21:59.514-06:00I think I was born talking. I'm a talker from ...I think I was born talking. I'm a talker from as far back as I can remember, but when I'm new, I'm tongue-tied, and can't think of a thing to say. It is pure terrified torture. I just have to gird up my loins, so to speak, and be brave and comment, much like your newbies in your apartment. Then I just hope for the best.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01405496874813879203noreply@blogger.com
