Inspiring Others to Breakthrough Their Comfort Zone

In an audience of 1,500 its tough sometimes to tell whether you are connecting with anyone except the faces in the front few rows, and maybe those who step up to ask a question or respond to a request for sharing from the stage.
Some people will come up and engage you after the talk, some will stop by your booth and buy your products, some keep to themselves quietly reflecting on what they heard and evaluating for application in their own lives, some fail to see value in the talk, and others are just inspired and may or may not share it beyond themselves.
I’m grateful that one participant chose to do two things in one blog post. The first is that he shared with me the impact my talk had on him and also did something for himself. He applied a little of the humility I suggested and stretched his comfort zone a little.
Congratulations, Mark! I’m both proud of you and very grateful for the feedback you shared with your readers. For those of you who would like to read about how I, and two other fabulous speakers, inspired Mark, please read his blog at Mark Curtis Media.
Congrats on your big audience and for the feedback via Mark’s blogging!

After attending the 2009 Career and Leadership Conference in Danville, California, I must say how impressed I was with the format and the speakers. One speaker in particular caught my attention because of the manner in which he presented. Skip Weisman was charismatic, energetic and through his mannerisms provided you with that ‘easy listening’ experience. He engaged the audience in many forms but my favorite was when the audience was required to interact with each other. This not only got people out of their chairs but helped us all refocus.
