Life without a direct challenge?

Opening speaker, David Rowan.

Life without a direct challenge?

As a speaker, long ago it became obvious (to me) that not challenging your audience to do something great is a missed opportunity (obligation).

Ali is Dr Amir Zeid’s (event co-organizer) 12-year old son. We hit it off. He carries himself in an adult crowd better than most adults.

So i Googled “Disney Keynote Speaker” from the Kuwait Hotel lobby business center.

How long should a great TEDx Talk last?

Grinnell Glacier overlook
It’s 8.5 miles from the Logan Pass (Continental Divide) Visitor’s Center. The short way to the shuttle is another 6 miles, mostly downhill. You can also hike 8.5 miles back the way you came.

There is a TEDx Talk here by Duncan Wardle, a former Disney executive. It’s almost 18-minutes long.

How does under 10 minutes sound? Eight minutes?

What about 12 minutes?

The audience is heavenly, the traveling is hell

The audience is heavenly, the traveling is hell.

When this post goes public at the end of April 2019, i’ll be only four months away from literally being able to travel anywhere (that’s safe) for any length of time.

With our Son in college, the desire to be home and available for him is a non-issue.

Will i log 270 days on the road, as Duncan has?

Will i see it as a gift, a burden, or something in between?
