OCTOBER 18, 2010

I first met Heather Gold when she did stand up comedy at the first Blogher conference in 2005. I do a lot of presenting and am spending to much time writing bullet points, creating slides, and practicing what I’m going to say. One thing I learned is that if you get a laugh, say it again in another way.
