And the Connection Is
Posted on June 16th, 2009 by Cynthia D'Amour
Surprise!
Last week I facilitated ADA’s Leadership Institute.
- It was my fourth year.
- I keep the energy pumped up.
- And run the front of the room.
Periodically during each day I face a corporate challenge.
- Partners and sponsors give 10-15 minute talks.
- I listen for connections to previous general session speakers.
- Showcase my discovery as soon as they stop speaking.
“Did you notice this partner gave us a great example of…”
- Attendees love to hear the application.
- Partners and sponsors love to be showcased as brilliant.
I love the rush of finding the connection in real time.
- I’m never sure what partners and sponsors will say.
- Or the link I’ll be able to find.
- Attendees wonder if I’ll get stumped.
It makes partner and sponsor presentations more exciting.
Makes me think of chapter leaders…how do you help make your sponsors both relevant and exciting?
