Me in the Big D Ignite Dallas - Workology

Me in the Big D Ignite Dallas Me in the Big D Ignite Dallas.png I try really hard to not be one of the people who is all talk and no action.   I talk a lot on my  Job Search Secrets webshow  and this blog about job seekers and professionals encouraging them to get outside of their comfort zone, defining your personal brand, and networking.   I will tell you that I am doing all those things on Wednesday night at  Ignite Dallas. Me in the Big D Ignite Dallas.png Ignite Dallas is a networking event and presentation extravaganza on steroids.   Myself, along with 15 other speakers will be giving five minute presentations to 500 plus people with 20 slides that automatically advance every fifteen seconds.   Yes, fifteen seconds in the Big D, Dallas. An event like this is good for a number of different reasons.   Im putting myself out there as a speaker and taking a chance in a new city where Im looking to build my network, make new friends, and grow my business. As a attendee, you get to meet some of the most creative and networked people in the city at a cost of only twenty bucks.   Events like Ignite Dallas are held all over the world.   In fact,  Ignite OKC  is next week and sadly I will have to miss because of travel. If you happen to be in Dallas Wednesday evening, Id love to see you.   Theres still time to  register  for the event.   Great networking, good times, and  ME  hanging with  YOU.   The event opens at 6:00 PM CST and talks start at 7:30 PM.   For those that are unable to make the trip to the Granada for the event, you are welcome to watch the  live stream  (www.ustream.tv/user/ignitedallas) and tune into my talk and the 15 other brave soles who will also be giving talks on the Granada stage. Ill make sure to alert the Twitterverse and Facebook folk before I go on stage. My talk will be 7.2 Ways to Get Fired with Social Media.   I dont want to give the secret away but I plan on getting into character during my talk for some HR humor.   You wont want to miss either an amazing presentation or a glorious disaster.   Either way, I cant wait.
