My Weekly Blog post:
As a speaker, I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to share my ideas and engage with diverse audiences. However, I always have a whirlwind of thoughts before each presentation. I strive to deliver my best, understand the audience’s needs, and speak in a way that resonates with them. Additionally, I constantly wonder how to effectively showcase my expertise and inspire people to work with me. A valuable lesson I’ve learned is to embrace authenticity and focus on self-expression rather than conforming to expectations. By being myself, I can create a genuine connection with the audience and truly enjoy the experience.
What do you look for in a conference speaker or chair?
Nonrelativistic pragmatism and systems thinking
I see they’ve been on various big podcasts etc. Whatever your reaction to the headline(s), I encourage you to have a listen to this podcast as it’s very interesting and at times amusing stuff — Cronin is certainly willing to be acerbic and bold — and their thinking is explained very well with multiple connections.
