I know, it’s not the best picture and I look all slouchy…but, who cares? I got to speak to 100 people at Chrystal Bougon’s SoMe Bootcamp!

Here’s how I got the gig…listen up because this is tricky…

I asked for it.

Seriously, that’s all I did.  I sent her an email and asked her if I could lead a short centering exercise.  Okay, I also recorded an audio and sent her a link to listen to with my request. By the way, I also used the audio as a blog post so that it was available for everyone to hear as well. I love leveraging my efforts :~)

Now, she said no to my initial request.  But we agreed that I could do something as long as it wasn’t too woo woo.  And you know what? I think it turned out way better than a centering exercise!

I didn’t even know exactly what I was going to say when I got up there.  But, I knew I was going to bring the group back to the learning state of mind while waking people up after eating lunch.  So I allowed the details of what turned into a Mental/Emotional Stretch to emerge on the spot {I do love improv and it turned out beautifully.}  And what’s even sweeter…she included a link to my website in the emails sent out to all of the participants both before & after the event.  How freaking cool is that?

And it would have never happened if I didn’t ask.  So keep facing those fears, Peeps, and ask for what you want because you just might get it!
