This is the right answer.

I'm apparently a decent public speaker and meeting facilitator that has no difficulty getting up in front of crowds. It's a continuous surprise to me that others fear the hell out of it and it's probably one of the biggest phobias around.

So what I think is simple and routine and straightforward - looking around the room to include everyone, addressing people's inputs directly but firmly, interrupting off-topic or ranty meeting contributors so we can move on - is something that I've been told many times is a "skill" to have.

I don't even notice it. I just do it.

So I don't VALUE it, and its contribution.

And when I wonder "Am I actually worth what I'm being paid?", I don't properly factor it in, while others do.
