He is a well-known motivational speaker and a referee in the National Football League. As I described my awful experience to him, I noticed some of the folks from the night before breakfasting. I had no impulse to mingle. Jim put my experience into perspective. He told me that as a head referee he had often been booed by 90,000 people.
Football plays are so bang-bang.
Why, I wouldn't be surprised if some day you tell that awful story and make it funny. That'll be the day. Speaker Preparation means more than knowing your topic and when to be where.
