Interesting topic. I speak in front of clients quite a bit at project kickoff meetings, and I've found that I'm best suited to smaller rooms of people where I can quickly identify and warm up to the key people in the room. I have one coming up soon though where there will be about a dozen client members, and like 7 of us from our company.
A little nervous about it. I know my stuff, and frankly I'm there more to listen than to dictate. The last really large meeting I was at, which was last year, had about 5 non-essential attorneys there that were name partners or hotshots who wanted to throw their status around. I mispronounced ONE Jewish law firm name incorrectly and was instantly a dumb shit based on their body language after that.
