If you ever get the opportunity to attend one of these ( http://barcamp.org/ ), it's worth it. Today's charge, $10! I got to do SO much creativity...I even got to write on the office walls - they are all windows!
So, for those of you who are reading this AFTER the event, and for those of you who did not get to attend, here are my couple of awesome take-aways:
1) Run programs in 30 minute chunks. The time is enough to get an idea out, have the audience engage, ask and answer a few questions, and move on...
2) Work backwards during the rehearsal period. I've always practiced, but now I want to practice with the idea of "rehearsing" the beginning, the middle, the end, the Q&A period, even "coming back from a break!"
3) Step up...y'all! If you're thinking of upleveling you, find a way to surround yourself by other people upleveling themselves! Sure, you can watch a video, read a book, or write some notes in your own journal...But, there's nothing like surrounding yourself with other people as dedicated as you are to the journey.
Enjoy!
