>> I had Dr. Jackson basically did a lot of the teaching in the program.
And I was actually quite shy when I came out of undergraduate.
I was in the class as a student, a fresh student with a lot of business people
that really were accomplished and I benefited greatly from that.
But I was a little shy.
And we had a course that wasn't a public speaking class, but it became that for me.
He recognized how uncomfortable I was to be in front of people.
So every class, he would make me come up and sell the pencil or talk about my day.
And it was painful.
But I went to class every day and I really have to say that was a really helpful,
you know, the class felt badly for me.
And so I felt like I had a soft odd by the end.
But it really did help me realize it was an opportunity for me and to, you know,
help that ability to talk in front of people, so I was grateful for that.
