First speaking event complete

Last night I spoke at LaunchCoderGirl, an all-women group learning how to code. I spoke about what QA does in an Agile software development environment. People laughed at most of the places I wanted them to laugh, and when I was done there were several questions, then people wanted to talk to me.

This was my first ever public speaking gig. I almost ran out of business cards, and I have no idea how long I talked. My slides had a Dilbert cartoon, an xkcd cartoon, and the D&D alignment chart, plus some screenshots and links to QA resources.

Public speaking has always terrified me. I've taken baby steps with helping to facilitate our Agile QA class, and speaking at the new hire orientation session twice. Last night was not terrifying, and it was fun. And I used the green laser pointer I've wanted to get for years.

Edited to add:
I put my slides and transcript on Slide Share. I'm told I talked for about half an hour.
