Hi Darrell,
In my previous career as a Logistics manager I used to send my staff and anyone in my organization that wanted to, to participate in a group called "Toast Masters". They would meet once a week and each week someone else would take a crack at public speaking (in front of the other members of Toast Masters). Each person was then given feedback (positive & negative). They would then get other opportunities at later dates to speak again. Topics were usually suggested by other members. You could keep on going through the rotations until you felt confident enough to step out on
