Sometimes, all it takes is one person to make a difference. This week, I salute that one person, and the many forms they came in:
My friend Matt and I had one person sign up for our workshop…and hopefully more to come.
We took the plunge and Matt and I went forward with our presentation idea. We reserved the room. We advertised the presentation to our networks. We bought the projector and screen (nothing like the thrill and terror of spending $850 in 5 minutes). I began to panic this week when no one was signing up. Did we charge too much? Was it too early to hope for more enthusiasm? Did we schedule this workshop the wrong time of year?
And just when I was second guessing the whole thing, someone signed up. And paid. Insert sigh of relief here.
Here’s hoping for a few more participants. For more information or to sign up yourself, click here.
I’ll be presenting to the Deer Isle-Stonington Chamber of Commerce, and as part of the Schoodic Arts Festival this summer.
Based on my Ellsworth Chamber presentation, I booked two more speaking gigs for the coming months.
