I pushed myself. I was frustrated.

I know; I took some of them using their cameras and cell phones so they could all get into the group shots. I marveled at how they were able to stay atop those five-inch stiletto heels, despite the obvious challenges in pay.

While I love the actual speaking part of each engagement, it can be a bumpy road leading up to the event, especially if the host or sponsor hasn’t taken the time to clearly define their goals. Do you expect speakers to help promote the event and share in the fees collected. Topic What is the objective of the event or session?
