</p><p>I absolutely love, love, love what I do. One of the things &#8211; in fact the ONLY thing &#8211; I have in common with Michael Jordan is that the thing I love transports me and when I&#8217;m doing it all of my life problems seem to fade away. I am &#8211; in fact &#8211; the perfect person when I&#8217;m presenting seminars in front of a large group of people. For me large is 100 plus!</p>
<p>You should see me. I&#8217;m funny, witty, engaging. I even smile every now and then. And I&#8217;m cool in front of the audience. In fact I once poured an elderly woman a glass of water as I was sharing information on how to build a permission-based email list. Cool, I tell you. Cool!</p>
<p>I say all that to say this: Do what you love and you&#8217;re all of the sudden the perfect person. You&#8217;re bright, funny, imaginative, engaging. When are you at your best? That&#8217;s the thing you should be doing.  Love ya! &#8211; L</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>During live presentations in front of an audience it&#8217;s about you, not the powerpoint. Reference the main point of the slide and then keep the presentation moving to the next key point.</p>
