Open Stage Speech Video Online!

Finally! My open stage video from LIFT08 is online, which isn’t too bad given the slight hiccups surrounding the open stage videos, isn’t too bad.

[googlevideo=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8270350768335569204]

Here is a copy of my preparation notes, including a short bit I missed out. (The video is on Facebook too.)

If you haven’t done it yet, you should also check out the two interviews I gave about Going Solo during the conference.

LIFT08 Open Stage: Thanks

Thanks for your positive reactions to my open stage speech at the LIFT08 conference. It’s really encouraging! If you’re at LIFT08, come and say hi and pick up a Going Solo moo card. I bought three boxes of them, so there should be plenty for you.

If you missed my speech, you’ll be able to see it online once the video is up (or so I understood), or you can read my preparation notes on CTTS.

I wanted to open registration for LIFT08, but decided it was better timing to do it just after. See stay on the lookout this week-end or early next week! There will be a special discount for LIFT participants.
