The blogger speaks, and what a long, strange trip it's been

Warning, shameless self promotion ahead:

Since I last checked in with you about my public speaking availability back in January, I've been a very busy bee. Here's my public speaking calendar since February 2008, and extending into January 2009 (keep in mind most of these REALTOR association events are part of my duties at VAR, i.e. not for hire):

I'd love to come and speak for your group, too. Check out my under-development public speaking webpage with everything you need to make planning a session with me easy: Session titles, descriptions, the time allotted for each presentation. In addition you'll find a downloadable biography and headshots. Easy, right?

I'm accepting speaking engagements starting in October. Due to demands on my time, I have had to increase my rate, but I think you'll find that my fee is still a very good value. If you're looking for a speaker for an upcoming meeting, retreat, or halftime entertainment, please think of me.
