Tuesday night – so to speak

Insanely busy but still pleasant day. Beautiful Sunshine and I was able to break for a run at lunch. That made all. The tip.
I took several of my calls downstairs and I am happy to come in and she commented on all the different kinds of accents that came in and out of my calls… Today it was French Indian Irish Chinese Swiss German and a little North Carolina thrown in, Just tomake it interesting. I sometimes take it for granted, but I really do enjoy working with the entire world in any given week… it certainly keeps things lively.

Speaking of the entire world… I was trying to get through my email today and I have six new invitations to give talks at some place in the planet. You may be surprised to hear this, but There are few things I dread more than public speaking. It doesn't matter whether it's an audience of 10 or 5000… My mouth gets dry my heart beats and I don't sleep well for a week before. The problem is is every time I do it I get more invitations to do it again. you would think it would get easier after 20 years or so but it never does.

As much as I don't like it, I probably say yes to about 50% of the invitations I get for one reason or another. Usually it's because I Have passion for the topic but I've been asked to speak on. I say yes, forgetting that to make good on that passion I have to have several sleepless nights of putting together my thoughts. Get on an airplane. Eat bad food, fly back. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Someday I guess I'll learn… But for now these 6 invitations look pretty good.., After all I have passion for these topics…lol

 

Nite all, nite sam
