Digg it UP - To Be Early Is To Be On Time
I write some of my best articles, books, and coaching and consulting proposals in the wee hours of the morning, long before dawn.Officially, this is not during a 9-5, business day, is it?What if I wanted to sell these precious hours to an employer, with the assertion that this is when I perform best? Do you think I could line-up a job, say with a publisher, to come into headquarters between 1-5 in the morning?Probably, not, right? After all, who

“To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be in late, and to be late is to be in trouble”. For those of my students who followed the “late” timing, they quickly found that late night running solved their problems. I also “left: my fair share of chaperones at the hotel for not being ready to leave. Sounds harsh? Maybe--- but, it does teach us lessons that can be moved into the presentation arena.
As a presenter, being early to a presentation is a “win-win” scenario for both you as the presenter and the audience. The following is a listing and explanations of the benefits of being early to a presentation.
Benefits for presenter:
- You can check out the layout of the venue--- sometimes the chair/table layout of the room may not be what you desire
- You get a chance to check the lighting of the room--- the room itself may not reach the “specs” that were sent to you. Instead of adjustable lighting, your room may have fluorescent lights only.
- The audience “goodies” may not be in place--- your audience will always appreciate water at the back of the room. You may even want to provide mints or hard candies of some type.
- Set the room temperature. It will take time for the room temperature to adjust. You don’t want a room where you can hang meat or feel that you’ve just gotten into a tanning bed.

Freelancing is one of the most lucrative ways to earn a living nowadays. You can do it as a side business or you can do it as your regular one. It really depends on how much you can do and how much you can earn from the assignments that you get.One thing good about freelancing is the fact that you don’t have to have any scheduled time. Unlike regular work, wherein you have to come to work at a prescribed hour and render a specific number of hours of work, in f

Lots of people think that those who ‘make it’ are lucky. That luck plays a part in their success in landing acting jobs.I don’t believe in luck I believe in being ready for when opportunity knocks.If those that have made it didn’t have the skill or the ability, or they weren’t ready or more importantly if they didn’t resonate at the right vibration they wouldn’t have got the acting jobs.An important component in success and landing acting jobs is

An RSS feed, also known as a "news feed", is a syndicated news feed in an XML format that you can subscribe to. A news feed reader, also known as a "news aggregator", is software that lets you subscribe to RSS feeds. Organizations will trust their employees enough to let them subscribe to RSS feeds.

Benefits for Audience:
- The audience will have a better chance in seeing a successful presentation. Audience Advocacy contains important concepts… design/deliver the presentation in the way you as an audience member would appreciate participating. “Prior preparation prevents poor performance”. Make each presentation successful for the presenter and the audience.
- You’ll be able to “bond” with your audience as they enter the room. This interaction and “getting to know the audience” will help create a positive rapport between the presenter and the audience.
To interject a “personal” learning moment about being early to a presentation site as a presenter… I recently presented at the ASCD (Association of Superintendents and Curriculum Developers) convention in Anaheim, CA. Prior to the convention, we were to send in out requests for equipment for the room. Due to changes in airline carry-ons, I opted to rent a projector at the convention site (first mistake). When I got to the room, there was no LCD projector but an overhead projector instead. By arriving early, I had an hour and a half to find an LCD projector and have it sent to the room. From that point, I went into normal preparation mode. Moral of the story--- if I hadn’t arrived early, the presentation would have still been delivered, but without the PowerPoint support materials. To this end, I’m a firm believer in living the mantra…
