“Was excited to see Amanda presenting. Been to one of her presentations before and again she did not disappoint. Excellent.”

Public speaking is one of my favourite pastimes. My enthusiasm for topics including blogging, travelling, social media, podcasts and productivity means I’m often hired to speak. Not-so-secretly, I hope the high school teachers who told me off for talking can see that these days, I get paid for it đ (but also, I’m sorry for disrupting class!).
