Four more sleeps until I take to the stage for the FIRST time in my professional career to educate. Starting now the cocoons have been spun and attached to the walls of my stomach only to mature into full grown butterflies.
When I dance I can perform as someone else, hide behind makeup and a persona without a worry. To speak true to myself and my passion is what I face in four sleeps.
Is there an easy way to calm my fears before I hold the microphone? I don’t think picturing the audience in their underwear is going to work for me – I may not be able to look them in the eye!
I want to succeed, I know I can. I just need to allow my beautiful wings to emerge.

butterfly.” ~Proverb~
Robin Havlicek started RAD Printing six years ago against all advice from those around her. “A Female in a Male Dominated industry will never survive” – That’s what Robin was told, that is what she has defied.
They say that our bodies have the same physiological response to fear as to excitement, with the exception of one thing…when we’re in fear, we hold our breath. So, first things first…remember to breathe!

Robin,
I completely relate to your post. I took the stage in November in front of a crowd of over 500 people. It was my first big speaking gig and it was a challenge for me. The good news is I survived and when I realized my story would help empower and inspire other women – it became easier.
Remember your message and mission and the rest will follow.
Write on!~
