Grumbles into Gold

Prompted by an old friend seeking insights on blogging today, the following thoughts emerged... My first attempt at blogging was before "Blogging" was a word, during virtual team working days.

Presenting to Large Audiences

I'm reviewing my recent "performance" on http://bit.ly/BradSpeakingToUKSG to help others that I work with learn what they might want to do or to NOT do, when speaking to large audiences. It was a room full of librarians, in my case...so...shoosh!
