Chatty Kelly's She Speaks Meme

Wow. How can you elaborate on 3 days of worship, knowledge, fellowship, food and fun? It was overwhelming, but it a good way. So I thought it would be fun to create a She Speaks meme for anyone who wants to participate. If you do, simple blog the answers to the following questions at your blog, and link back here, adding your link below, so we can all share our experiences together.

Be sure to mention this post in your blog post in case other She Speaks attendance who read your blog, but not mine, want to participate.

Here are the questions to answer:

1. What was the best advice you got at She Speaks?

2. What was the best lesson you learned in a session?

3. What are you going to do with what you learned/what is your next goal?

4. Anything else you want to share? (Good, bad or ugly?)

Now write your post. Come back here and enter your information, and let's read and support one another. No blog? Answer the questions in my comments section. I'll leave this post up all week.

(I will write my own post separately and link here too.)

Enjoy!

She Speaks 2011- Meme Answers

The Chatty Kelly She Speaks Meme for She Speaks attendees:

1. What was the best advice you got at She Speaks?

"Even if you think some else has already said what you want to say, and even if they've said it better - say it anyway. YOU might be the one they listen too." - Emily Freeman, Blog to Book Deal.

2. What was the best lesson you learned in a session?

Lysa TerKeurst's "sticky message" (speaker track) was the best lesson I learned, and I plan to start implementing it right away in my speaking! When I gave my 5 minute talk for evaluation several people noted that I was using the "sticky message" and I hadn't meant to! I wrote it before attended Lysa's session. How exciting to learn that I had "accidentally" (or perhaps intuitively) done something right!

3. What are you going to do with what you learned/what is your next goal?

I am speaking at a women's conference in October. My current focus will be working on those talks. I also plan to create a new tag line for my blog which better explains the focus of my ministry. And I hope to keep blogging and connecting with new bloggers and She Speaks attendees.

4. Anything else you want to share? (Good, bad or ugly)

The Ugly: My clothes! Well, not exactly ugly, but Friday when I came down in my business casual outfit and saw everyone in their cute outfits, I suddenly felt very insecure. I'd like to say I went back up to my room and prayed over it, got over it and moved on. *But* what I really did was convince my room mate to make an emergency trip to the outlet mall, where I bought a cute new top. Now I was ready to take on the world!

I'm so glad that I have a God who loves me not matter what I'm wearing, and puts up with my silly insecurities. And can I say, you She Speaks ladies are some sharp dressed gals! You looked marvelous!
