ASHA is the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, the professional and ‘credentialing’ body for speech-language pathologists, audiologists and speech, language and hearing scientists in the USA. Its Annual Convention attracts expert speakers and well-known names from around the globe. Claire Butler and Roger Newman were both invited to present at ASHA 2009. They describe how the invitations came about, how they felt, and how they went about preparing for it and finally got through it in spite of terror, doubts and competing work and family priorities. They hope their experience will encourage others to accept such opportunities of a lifetime when they come along. Life coach Jo Middlemiss adds a comment on dealing with fear and risk.
