No, this isn't a rock concert...although, yes, it certainly looks (and sounds and feels) like one. This is, dear reader, the National Speakers Association national conference, and lemme tell ya, this ain't no mundane group. When the official Opening General Session opened tonight, it did so with the Rolling Stones blasting over the (admittedly impressive) sound system while normally tie-clad speakers with stellar reputations stood atop chairs and gyrated like they were eighteen.Translated, this is the largest adrenaline rush on earth.
High points of the day:
“Nametag Scott” Ginsburg-—He’s either crazy or brilliant. I’m going with option B. Anyone who lands on CNN in his early twenties has something figured out.
Manny Medrano--The former ABC Supreme Court corespondent and former federal narcotics prosecutor in L.A. has moved--and continues to move--mountains with his challenge to lead your life with courage, heart, and soul.
Bill Stainton--Who knew the Beatles were teaching us about public speaking? His ability to turn the pop icons into a career lesson is astounding, entertaining, and crazy-brilliant.
God only knows what's in store for tomorrow. At this rate, I'll be levitating by Monday morning.
