Stepping outside my comfort zone

I am doing something big! I'm a nurse with almost 25 years of experience and have a great desire to share what I've learned about caregiving. I started wrtiting a book and realized that I have a lot of great information documented and I don't need to wait until my book is finished. Impusively, I called the local library and scheduled 2 nights (a week apart) and began inviting caregivers with all levels of experience to hear what I have to say. I do a bit of public speaking in my "day job" but this is a bit different. I want to convey the authentic urge to help others, be intentional about topics and content that is not emotionally overwhelming, give some but not all of the information I possess, and highlight the importance of self care when caring for others. I am nervous and am fending off fears left and right. I know that the information I am sharing has the potential to help lots of folks navigate healthcare and improve quality and safety of in home care.

What are you best insights for someone trying something out to assess the community's interest?
