Need career advice!?

[techy76]

I'm hoping that someone can help me make a decision concerning my career…
I was offered an opportunity that would make me move up in the company. However this opportunity isn't something that most people would see me do.
I was asked to be an instructor for an IT security Awareness course that has to be given to
More than 6000 people "not all at once".

I know that I'm a very nervous person and I don't know how I would react in front of the board rooms.

Basicaly I see this as the only opportunity for me to move up in the company however I'm not sure I can handle the stress of teaching Ministers and Directors and Admins and everyone else. On the other side, The job I have now is getting extremly borring and I'm not sure I like the way it's heading.

Uugghhh…. Why can't life be easier!

I think this is a perfect opportunity for you to spread your wings and see what you can do. I would recommend that you take it!

Become extremely familiar with the presentation and the material. Know it so well that you can deliver it with little or no notes. Do practice runs in front of a mirror and with a friend. Make sure that you are dressed your best so that you will have the outward confidence that you need.

You'll do great and this is going to open up so many doors for you.

When I was a payroll clerk I was asked to help train 4000 employees how to use a new time keeping system. That led to me moving up careerwise, salarywise, and industrywise.

Good luck to you!!!!

Change is normal, if they suggested you for the job, you must be doing something right. Personally I think you will do fine, it just might take a while for you to get used to it. But, it may not be your cup of tea, that will have to be your choice.
