"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu, Chinese philosopher (604 BC - 531 BC)

"The very best thing a new speaker can do is to develop a ‘pick-me’ attitude. Every time someone asks 'who can help with…' get your hand up fast and say 'PICK ME'.

It is a great way to learn the ropes; to understand what goes on behind the scenes and a great way to get noticed for all the right reasons. When you get noticed you get picked to MC, to thank speakers, to speak! Fancy that!

The second best thing you can do IS GET ON THE COMMITTEE! You will be on the real fast-track to learning that way."
