I just returned from a fantastic National Speakers Association Convention: Influence 15 in Washington, D.C.! Inspiring speakers and excellent educational content plus a chance to catch up with my speaker friends.
And I had a great time presenting a concurrent session, "Using Improv Comedy Principles to Make Your Presentations Powerful & Engaging." (more photos of my session to follow in a later blog post)
