Trade Show Workshop Today. I Rocked It.

[canyonwalker]

My company is running a trade show in town today and tomorrow. Today was hands-on workshops, tomorrow is main-stage presentations. I ran the afternoon workshop today. We were SRO— a Standing-Room Only crowd. I guided 40+ people through technical exercises, explaining not just the technology but also the motivation (what real-world problems the tech solves), the history of prior attempts that these supersede, and shared a number of colorful stories, some of them serious and others humorous. If I do say so myself, I rocked it.

And now (several hours later) I'm tired. It take a lot of energy to be "on" like that for several hours. Plus, my feet are killing me. The stylish shoes I wore today are, alas, not the most comfortable for trade show work. Tomorrow it's back to my Ecco plain-toe Oxfords. Though tomorrow I'll also be wearing a tuxedo. That's right... it's time for the Butler to serve!

You're a good teacher. I would expect any workshop you run to succeed on all levels. Your blog showcases your ability to explain concepts, context, and history. You do so succinctly. I'm sure your audience this afternoon appreciated all that.

You can put yourself in your reader's shoes and, even more importantly, you consistently do so. Your drive to apply all your talents to the blog makes it a rewarding read.
