👍 @clearleft took a chance on me a few years ago. Huge boost for my speaking. “Putting on a conference” — @adactio medium.com/clear-left-thinki…
ALT “Because the speakers make or break a conference, there’s a real temptation to play it safe and only book people who are veterans. But then you’re missing out on a chance to boost someone when they’re just starting out with public speaking.…” from “Putting on a conference” by Jeremy Keith.
