I've been to a lot of conferences lately and there's one thing that keeps coming up: Man, we sometimes just suck at public speaking . The information is good, but the delivery plain old sucks.

And, I get it. You're probably asking yourself now: "I'm never gonna teach a class, host a podcast, or become famous - so why should it matter to me?" or "I'm a serious firefighter and people don't care how I speak. The information is good and that is enough." Well, I'm here to shed a light on a thought - public speaking is a useful and often discounted skill that can be used with an audience of 1 just as easily and effectively as an audience of 1,000 - and we owe it to ourselves and our maker to build that skill and use it for good. Let's dig in.

The Comeback.

Guys - I'm ready. It's been A WHILE. So, join me for the first of many more episodes to come.

Today, let's get into what my tips are for submitting proposals to conferences. I read tons of proposals every year getting ready for Les Lukert, so I know a lot of basic mistakes that are made, what I like to see, and some small extra things that'll give you a bit of an edge. There are some that may seem basic and definitely others you never thought of. Let's dig in.
