Drive 100 mph Blindfolded
I’m a geek, not a cool guy with a fast car, so you should expect this to be nothing more then a metaphor. Maybe one day I’ll have a car that can go over 60, but until then, I’ll write about business and technology.
I recently decided to deliver webinars to compliment my Professional Speaking, and let me tell you – it is nothing like Professional Speaking as I knew it. When your speaking in front of an audience (at least for me), it’s all about improv. I have my topic and a solid understanding of the material, but I feed off the audience. I look for facial queues (like the audience falling asleep), or audio queues (snoring), and adjust accordingly. It’s like dancing with the audience, and working real hard to count in my head while not stepping on toes. Keep an eye on the toes, and no problem.
