"I am not a Machine": How to do Good Work vs. Hard WorkĀ |Ā Keonna Knight
See Keonna's TalkMeet our Emcee:
Todd Waldo
Todd does it again!! Our perfect emcee for DisruptRVA, Todd creates an atmosphere for everyone thatās uniquely Disrupt.Ā
Speakers have aĀ big task: Deliver a powerful message inside a challenging format (5 minutes, 20 slides advancing automatically every 20 seconds)Ā and energize, inform and empowerĀ the audience.Ā Speakers mess up! Perfection is not the point.
Success is when an audience member takes something away and tries something new the very next day.Ā Ā
Todd makes sure everyone understands this. He keeps the energy up -- the audience encouraging the speakers, the speakers inspired by the audience. A complete uplift for everyone!
