Rocky did a good thread for Lotusphere N00bs

You can find the thread
here. But I wanted to add
something of my own to the thought. There are so many of us not only
in the blogging world that hang out with each other, but also simple friends
and professional associates. I personally make it a point to get
to a few minutes of each session one of them presents. Even if it
is to step in for ten minutes and race to another that is at the same time.
I find that you learn a lot about speaking styles, even tips you
can use for yourself. I have one friend that not only blogs but has
attended a few of my sessions. It is awesome to hear candidly how
you do as well as hear them say they liked something so much in the way
you present they want to encompass it to their own styles. Flattery
I tell you.
So take the time to make eye contact, send
a wave, let them know you came through, even if just for a few minutes.
Remember, many of us (like Andrew
:-) ) can't sit still in
sessions for long times anyway. Or business meetings and other sessions
keep us running. I know I am terribly guilty of trying to be everywhere
and pulled in different directions. But I love watching my friends
present.
