The Magic of the NSA Community
Today was a whirlwind, filled with blessings and remarkable moments. Not only did I have the pleasure of returning from Florida before 9:30 am after an incredible experience as the emcee for the Marriott International Finance Conference and Awards Ceremony the evening before…, but I also had the honor of sharing an Emergency Keynote Through The Magic of the NSA Community with an incredible audience. By happenstance, with no questions asked, and with less than 2 hours’ notice!
A heartfelt shout-out goes to Emily, who was scheduled to be the Opening Keynote Speaker but had to deal with an emergency medical situation. Emily, our thoughts are with you for a speedy recovery.
The world of professional speakers is a unique and supportive community. We back each other up—it’s simply what we do to serve our clients and their audiences effectively. Today, we were all fortunate that the stars aligned, and when our office received the call that they needed someone TODAY at 10 AM…and it was nearly 8 AM… I happened to be traveling in the right direction to step in and support the amazing Ohio Association of County Boards of Developmental Disabilities. Their work for communities across Ohio is truly magical.
Ross, thank you for also being there to back me up as the last-minute replacement, replacement…if things didn’t go quite as planned with my inbound flight to Columbus, Ohio. Your support was invaluable.
It’s incredible to think that the entire reason I ended up there was because Beth Ziesenis spoke to the group in October, and I was there to visit her! It’s a small world full of incredible connections. #SpeakerLife indeed.
Days like these highlight the importance of flexibility, community, and support in the life of a public speaker. The impact we can make together is phenomenal, and I’m grateful to be part of this amazing speaker family.
