Summary: Before Mary Cheyne went onto become the 2009 World Champion of Public Speaking, she was a shy computer programmer who hid behind her computer because she was too self-conscious. Many of you might feel the same or have felt that way at one point or another. When Mary started to realize that she wasn't being true to herself and that there was so much within her to express, she started on her public speaking journey. She decided to work on her public speaking skills so that she could articulate herself in public without feeling self-conscious. This journey revealed to Mary the power of what she embodied and the importance of our presence in every conversation.
