I have several unconfirmed speaking opportunites coming up ...
I wondered what insights I might offer. I also wondered what people wanted to hear.
I realised there are way too many experts offering the answer ... well actually they would offer a reason for the answer and then sell you the answer in a box at the end of there presentation ... very clever indeed.
I thought to offer an understanding of the influences that brought me to this place. The things that shaped me and coloured my choices.
When I write it like that it sounds a little dull and self gratificatory ... in fact, however, in understanding the 'why', the 'how' has more relevance.
Too profound?
How many speakers ask that very question "What should I talk about? Will they think I'm worth a listen?
And now I'm thinking ... bugger!
Bugger because I am thinking about it too hard.
Maybe I'll make a new Photoshop action and just make it the answer (in a box), that people need to buy, so that they can shoot like me.
If only it was that easy ...
"Bugger because I am thinking about it too hard." --> maybe, but it's not a bad thing
Looking forward to hearing what you have to say!
Thanks for the help on Monday, made me think be time... now I need to act
I would much prefer to hear of the things that shaped you/someone than 45 reasons why I need a, b and c to enhance my career. I would be very flattered indeed to be asked to share that, albeit somewhat terrified...
I'm listening..
