I write a post about not making assumptions, and Chuck makes an assumption out of the gate. Love it!Sorry, Chuck. While there were a few things in your talk that I disagreed with, this post isn't about you. That was your first time speaking to a crowd, as you said. And I'm going to harp on the turns of phrases that you used? Nope. You've got plenty of other skills to learn before we go down that path! :) How classic.

You're quite right regardless of who said it and what specific word was used. Same with acronyms and industry buzz words.On a personal non-upset kind of voice... and probably a debate for another time/place/podcast... I've never done a public speaking engagement, I was as nervous as I can ever remember and honestly I'm interested to see the video because I can't remember much of what happened; kind of like a black out sorta thing. Anxiety does that. Take that huge lack of speaking experience and the fact that I really had no clue what kind of demographic to expect and rookie mistakes are bound to happen. I mean the crowd went from guys like you who know what I'm talking about and more to the attendee who asked what hosting was... I'm not sure it gets any more diverse than that haha. I felt more comfortable with the Q&A session and think I answered all questions the best anybody could. At least I didn't pass out... breaking out in hives was the best of the worst that could have happened... Now I laugh at it but man was I freaking out going into that. Okay enough rambling... I agree with your post... done... bye :) :) I’m assuming you’re talking about me… You’re quite right regardless of who said it and what specific word was used.
