Reports from the Asylum

I had a great time presenting for the Bay Area Consultants Network on July 28th, and I don’t know why I’ve taken so long to put the link to the handout and slides here, especially when I got permission to quote the note I got from the organizer: “Another home run! You blew the socks off the crowd!”

The good news is: you get all the slides, even the out-takes, and the interactive handout, on the BACN presentation page. The bad news is: the audio recording is full of static. Painfully so. Turns out there was a bad wire in the external mic, not picked up during the short “is everything working” test I did before going on. So the file is there if you really want to subject yourself to it, but I’m not going to put it into the feed.

The audience at this presentation was great. My favorite question, in response to the clips I played from some of my favorite podcasts, was “Do you have to have an accent to do a podcast?”

This morning’s presentation on “Podcasting for Professional Trainers” was more of an adventure than anticipated, due mostly to the way the computer kept hanging up and refusing to advance to the next slide, then jumping several slides forward at once. Also, not being either a podcaster or a professional trainer, I was a bit out of my depth and knew it. But overall it went pretty well, and those of you who missed it can listen to the edited recording, which sounds much more fluent than the live presentation was. You can also get the slides and handouts from the presentation page.
