I'm not an author, but it makes me think of all the things I could speak about, too. And, I'm a trained storyteller, too.<br />MarlynBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604302308775920829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-52737091956911011502014-04-10T07:41:19.319-07:002014-04-10T07:41:19.319-07:00Good ideas, Gayle!

Several people I didn't know have contacted me to speak to their group or present a webinar, so I assume they found the info on my website. I like the idea of adding a video clip or two! I must do that - seems pretty essential for someone who wants to speak to a live audience. Great tips!Jodie Rennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17180607353893233389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-46821163639409954092014-04-10T06:53:44.781-07:002014-04-10T06:53:44.781-07:00I used to do much more of it. But public speaking ...I used to do much more of it. But public speaking is never easy for me, and I've decided to never teach another workshop. I spend too much time preparing and worrying about them. But when local students reach out to me, I visit their class or do some mentoring. And I'm always game to visit with a book club. L.J.
