Last month, I spoke at the National Speakers Association in New York City where the theme was NSA Rocks! The whole venue was set-up like a concert, with live rock star performances and interviews.
Kevin Cronin, lead singer for REO Speedwagon not only sang his famous hit single, Keep on Loving You, he also talked about how he would not still be performing and writing songs if he didn’t learn how to take care of himself along the way. I must say he looked very well cared for in his tight jeans and t-shirt. And, he was such a totally nice guy, too!
I came home pumped up from the convention as always with tons of ideas about how I could be a rock star in the speaking business. I was also really tired not just from four stimulating days that included speaking, breakout sessions, and networking, I also had a move, wedding, and anniversary all crammed into the week before I even went.
Having been gone for 5 days, I had lots of work to catch up on, and of course lots of boxes to still unpack, and all those fabulous ideas to implement, and my routine to re-establish and ….Then I remembered what Robin said and took myself right to bed because I know I want to still be performing and writing speeches the next 20 years, and look good in my tight jeans and t-shirt too!
