Confession: I love speaking!
I can't help it ... I enjoy speaking!
Those with stagefright will surely think I'm nuts :) but I always find being part of a panel or speaking at a conference immensely rewarding and entertaining; especially when folks in the audience are sincerely interested in the topic I am presenting.
Paid or unpaid
Paid speaking opportunities requiring travel are wonderful; yes they are indeed. I've had the good fortune of landing several paid speaking gigs in the past year or two — most recently I was whisked away to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to keynote at an annual convention held by a regional association in the mid-Atlantic.
Sometimes, however, smaller and local, non-paid speaking events will present themselves from time to time. Depending on the audience, the topic and the purpose of the event, I entertain these smaller speaking opportunities as well on a case by case basis.
Recent speaking presentations include...
The 30th AIW Writers Conference
This year's participation at the 30th AIW Writers Conference in Washington DC was my second time partaking in the event.
I was proud to be included in a local panel of bloggers and content developers for online communications.
Social Media Marketing panel by DC Web Women
I was proud to have been asked to participate as a panelist of social media mavens for an open, down-to-earth 2-hour discussion with event attendees on the topic of social media fundamentals, considerations and approaches.
