Confession: I'm about to talk at you (twice)
|
Howdy Reader! Truth time... I'm getting ready to speak at Ecamm's Creator Camp, and right after that I head to Momentum. That's two stages back-to-back, so my life right now is slide decks, clicker tests, and rehearsing out loud to an empty office like a man who lost an argument with his imaginary AI friend. So this time YOU do the talking. You've sat through more presentations than you can count (conferences, webinars, that one church potluck where somebody brought a projector). Hit reply and tell me two things. First, what's your biggest pet peeve when you're watching a speaker? I mean the thing that makes you reach for your phone, or quietly plan your escape to the snack table. (If it's the speaker who reads the slides out loud word for word, I'll have you know I only do that when I need help sounding out the big words.) Second, what's the one thing a speaker did that you still think about? I'm looking for the moment that stuck with you long after the lanyard went in a drawer. A one-liner is great, and so is a full rant. I'll read every one, and I promise to only steal the good ideas. See ya around the interwebs! -Jeff P.S. If you'll be at Creator Camp or Momentum, come find me and give me your answer in person. I'll be the guy near the stage doing box breathing exercises. |

Howdy Reader! Kirk Nugent tried to buy kirknugent.com and couldn't. Another Kirk Nugent, a poet and speaker, already owned it. So Kirk added his middle initial, took a nickname nobody else has, the Geek Speaker Preacher, and started deciding for himself what shows up when people search for him. Most of us have never looked. Kirk does this for a living, and it still happened to him. Today we're sitting down with Kirk, an online video coach and former IT executive whose career ran from NASA to...
Howdy Reader! I have a confession. When Lou Mongello came on Creator News Live this month, I asked our audience whether they'd ever met somebody whose work shaped them, and Lou accused ME of fishing for compliments (bless his heart...), live, in front of everybody. Then we tried to remember how we met, and our stories don't match. One involves a golden throne. The other involves Lou as Snow White, and I've been trying to get that picture out of my head ever since. Gustave Flaubert warned...
Howdy Reader! There is a profile on the internet with your name on it that you've not edited in about three years. Other people are looking at it. Two things changed on LinkedIn this year. The feed stopped running on your own network, and only about a third of what people see now comes from their own connections, so your posts land in front of strangers. At the same time, AI assistants started reading LinkedIn to answer questions like "who should I hire for this?" So now we know both new...
