Tisha,
It sure seems like you were trusted and had quickly been seen as a valued member of the campus team! No small feat in and of itself! I love that you used it as an opportunity to learn more about the school and build relationships with campus leaders.
From a coaching perspective, I think the understanding that you are the expert even when you feel you are not is a true lesson here. It took me a long time (maybe 2+ years to fully internalize that when I was asked to present, it was because I was the SME. Being the SME is not dependent on you feeling you have the knowledge. It is dependent on you simply knowing more than the people you are presenting to.
THanks for sharing,
Paul
