Something is not right, or is it? It’s Friday night and I am not out and about having cocktails or dinner or watching a movie. I am in front of my computer, typing in this, but more so, working. My talk this morning went quite well, with a group of close to 40 professionals listening to what I’ve learned about people that are motivated and about companies who motivate. Each time I do these talks I get better at it. And I enjoy it more. I am relatively new to the speaking world, but I can see it as a fit. I used to be great at sales because of my preparation and effort. I think I’ll be good at this for those same reasons.
That leads me to tonight. I am giving a keynote this Thursday for the Rochester Human Resource Executive of the Year. I have 20 to 30 minutes. But the focus is not my typical power point that I tweak for the particular audience. I am having to create something still based on my experiences, but slightly new. And that has stressed me out tonight and caused me to work instead of play.
I guess this is a sign that I love what I’m doing. There are places I could be, but this is where I want to be. Back to it.
