UÊGive a lecture at a local elementary school, high school, or college about 
your work . Sometimes schools will hold career days through which students 
have opportunities to learn about particular jobs or careers. Additionally, 
teachers sometimes invite guests to speak to their classes about particu -
lar types of careers or jobs. Call a local school principal to ﬁnd out about 
opportunities in your neighborhood school. Or, if you have a child in school, 
you may have the opportunity to speak to his or her class about what you 
do at work.
UÊRead a passage in front of others . For some people, reading a newspaper 
article or a passage from a book in front of a few family members may 
be anxiety provoking. For others, it may be important to try something 
more challenging, such as reading an introduction for a guest speaker who 
is about to give a presentation at your workplace.
