– In a mirror to yourself (loudly)
24
 Next Ticket, additionally…
• Write a paragraph about yourself.  
– This is to be typed up
– Font size 14 Times Roman.  
– This is used for the organiser of the talk to
introduce you as a speaker.  It is a part of YOU
creating your audience.  DO not be shy in writing
about yourself.

25
• Make sure you have written it in a way that the
person who is introducing you gets to do a good
job because you wrote it well.

• Again, this is apparently a simple exercise, but it

is NOT.  
– It is profound, so DO give it the time
– It is risky in that it has the potential of rewriting your
future :)
