Last night, I spoke in New Haven, Connecticut to about 50 or so small business owners on the topic of SEO. The presentation was named "What startups need to know about seo." It was for SEMNE.org and you can see the presentation slides at slide share.
Typically, when I speak, it is in front of hundreds of people, normal size crowd is over 250 people. So last night was a bit unusual in that the audience was a bit smaller than normal. That gave me the rare opportunity to actually get to see the full reaction of the individual people in the audience. There was one guy who was actually making me uncomfortable most of the night. He kept staring at me with this look of painful confusion, while everyone else seemed mostly happy. At some points, that guy's painful confusion expression seemed to not really be confusion but just the way he consumes information. He was not confused, just consuming.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to recreate the expressions I noticed when I was giving my presentation last night. Here is my attempt at that.
"Oh, I get it!"
"Does that really work???"
"I love you!"
"Blank stare"
"Painful confusion guy"
"He didn't just say that, did he!"
"Huh, what did he say?"
Thankfully, I didn't see any of this going on during the hour and a half talk I gave.
After the presentation, I was asked where can people hear me talk more. Well, SMX Israel I'll be talking a lot, so make sure to be there. Outside of that, I rarely speak unless I am pushed hard to speak or paid. So if you want me to speak, let me know and we can work something out.
