When I wasn't working, there was a request on LinkedIn for a speaker on email list strategy for the Business Marketing Association. I put my hand up and didn't hear anything so I assumed that someone else did the speaking engagement. The contact actually did eventually reach out and request a speaker for the last week of school (which I declined because I was getting ready for our Wyoming vacation and the last week of school is always crazy). Once again, I was surprised when they reached out in June and said they had postponed the topic and asked if I would be interested in speaking in July. While I wanted to decline again, I said yes. If I wasn't working, I would have said yes, so I did it.
I was nervous and the presentation was quite robust - 45 minutes - an hour total with questions - so I had to cover a lot! It was a small, but engaged crew and I had positive feedback and requests for copies of the presentation. I will take that as a positive sign!
I wrapped up the night listening to an audiobook and snuggling with my two boys (while dude #3 is on a plane to Cali). Time for vacation!
Whew - I survived the presentation!
Snuggle time!
