"Np Sis. Let me know if you have any questions or anything. My only request is just pass the information along and take it for yourself. We're our own best advocate. And if we don’t speak up for ourselves, who will?
The thing is we've been trained to live below the radar and made to feel guilty when we speak on our accomplishments. Forget that! The devil is a liar.
Not to preach, but people have sacrificed so we could have this opportunity so heck yeah, be proud of your contribution and presence. And when it starts to feel awkward remember that our good works glorify God! So when we shine, we shine Him and when we're being modest, it's a reflection of Him. It's not about being arrogant or proud but why not show our talents and abilities (and I'm definitely preaching to myself!)
I love this quotation b/c it's true:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles," 1992 (also used in Nelson Mandela's inauguration speech, 1994.)

You'll do awesome. Don't be afraid of overwhelming [X]. It will help him step his game up too. One of the values says: "Have courage to raise the bar..." ... Your presentation is showing that you live the
values. And if it gets too personal….look at it like a presentation. If you were presenting someone else would you hold back? I think not!
So yeah...that's preached to me. And I definitely am going to check out Marianne Williamson's book, Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles.
Love,
