Quick Note: As you know, I don't post my post here often. My hope is when I do, it will serve you well in your speaking career.

Now, I'm off to two speaking engagements :)

Comment by Kent Julian on March 21, 2013 at 6:37am: Good to see you back, Rick. And great post! Love the C.S. Lewis quote. Fits the problem-message-success equation we talked about last year at the Speak It Forward Boot Camp. I see a powerful, life-changing message coming from this experience!

Comment by Rick Seigmund on March 20, 2013 at 1:07pm: Hi to all! It's been far too long since I was here. Three weeks post surgery. Glad to be back. If you want to read an update, it is right here. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with everyone. Have an outstanding day!

Comment by Kent Julian on March 20, 2013 at 7:22am: Bill...I browsed through your post. Very interesting concepts. I think in the right context, it will be very well received.

Comment by Bill Priestley on March 19, 2013 at 1:13pm: Hello all, I've got my fingers crossed but I think I'm close to landing that first speaking gig! I also wanted to just see if I could get some feedback on a blog post I just published. This is actually part of my speech (in long form, I don't go into as much detail in the actual speech). But if you get a chance to read it, let me know what you think in the comments. (It is a rather long post, so you are forewarned.) Thanks! http://graduatewithsuccess.com/2013/03/19/why-the-civil-war-is-caus...

Comment by Kim Hall on March 19, 2013 at 7:51am: Ha ha! Loved your post Kent. What a powerful, memorable, visual and visceral metaphor!

Comment by Kent Julian on March 19, 2013 at 7:39am: Thanks Jon.

Comment by Jon Becker on March 19, 2013 at 7:38am: What a phenomenal way to express the way of mixing "sweet" and "sour" reputations, Kent! May I borrow this technique? Great post!!!

Comment by Kent Julian on March 19, 2013 at 7:18am: I posted a blog about how to own your reputation. Thought you might be interested in it because I explain how I visibly illustrated this during a recent keynote presentation. I hope this short post serves you well (under 400 words):
