092 The One About My TED Talk Experience
Episode 92: Show Notes
If you have listened to my end year shows, you know I am a goal setter. I believe that if you challenge yourself to grow beyond your comfort level, you challenge yourself to grow, period. I also believe that most people don’t challenge themselves to grow and by default they stay the same. The brutal fact is if you are staying the same, others are going to pass you, so there is no staying the same, the same will actual move you backwards.
This year I decided I wanted to work on my public speaking skills. Specifically, I wanted to do my first TED Talk. For those of you that don’t know TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design. Most of my speaking experience is with training. I have never made up a narrative (story) and spoke on it before. At the time of the release of this episode, I have not yet made it to the TED Stage. In an effort to get there, I'd love for you to nominate me at: https://speaker-nominations.ted.com/

I hope you enjoy this episode as I take you through the process of my preparation to do something I have never done before.
