Judith Briles
DBA, MBA
CO, USI've made my living with my published words and my mouth for over 30 years, speaking from the platform in all 50 states, 15 countries, and on land and sea—small groups of less than 20 to large groups with 5,000. In person in over 1,000 presentations; online, over 400. Whew! One of my take-aways is that the success of any conference has 7 essential ingredients:
1. the overall program
2. the speakers
3. the networking
4. the encouragement attendees experience
5. the location
6. the temperature in the room
7. the food
As a speaker, I can't control the location, temp in room, food, networking opportunities, or the overall program. What I can control is what I deliver as a speaker and encouragement and how-tos to attendees. Of course, I do ask the powers-that-are to deal with uncomfortable temperatures onsite. As an author, I've published 37 books and been honored with 30 book awards.
