Well slap my ass and call me Sally--this has little to do with Surprise and a lot to do with me.
I "public speak" a lot. I actually find it a lot of fun, and am way more comfortable on stage with a mic in front of 5,000 than at a party with a drink amongst 50. My next big gigs are with the mammoth Power Within series on March 6th and 8th, alongside Anthony Robbins, Suzanne Somers, fashion magnate Kenneth Cole, former President of Mexico Vicente Fox and others.
A couple of weeks ago, I keynoted to a group of high school kids about alternative career options. They were kind enough to send me the link of their compilation video on YouTube (hey GoogleTubers--when will you enable us TypePadders to insert video directly?). I come in at the 25-second mark and speak for a mercifully-short 90 seconds or so.
For you to judge...
