Public speaking started out as a hobby, taking me places I wouldn’t normally visit. I’ve seen quite a number of really cool, mostly European, cities these days. It has also helped me communicate better, stare at my shoes less.
I love Sessionize, it makes submitting for events so easy. It’s where I keep the abstracts for my current sessions. And my bio and such:
