I had a chance to deliver a workshop last Friday<\/a> with my colleague Leslie Lautzenhiser.\u00a0 I coach people who are looking to build businesses, she does the same for those who are evaluating franchises. We got great feedback and participation.<\/p>\n

I learned a number of things through this experience that I thought I’d share with you:<\/p>\n

1. It’s great working with someone who’s really sharp and who wants to be a good partner.\u00a0 Even though Leslie and I are both quite busy, we quickly established that we’re philosophically on the same page and could bring something unique to the community.\u00a0 The productivity and results were fantastic.<\/p>\n

2. Giving presentations can be a joy when you have something interesting to say.\u00a0 Yes, I know that many people consider public speaking to be a fate worse than death.\u00a0 But for me, I enjoy the challenge of putting together some useful content in an interesting way, and being able to help people who want to hear my message.<\/p>\n

3. This is a great way to reinforce my reputation with my target customer base.\u00a0 Even if you’re working inside a company, that’s a useful concept, because you’re also managing your reputation where you work.\u00a0 If you want to be known as an expert in a certain area, show people your expertise by sharing it freely.<\/p>\n

4. We all know that a teacher learns more than the student.\u00a0 This is because the teacher has to not only prepare what’s being taught, but also be ready to answer questions that arise.\u00a0 Without looking foolish and unprepared.\u00a0 So if you want to learn something, sign up to teach it!<\/p>\n

5. This is a great way to give back to the community.\u00a0 Many attendees were recently laid off, and really struggling with their career decisions.\u00a0 Having been through that, I appreciated the opportunity to help people with their struggles.<\/p>\n
