Social Media guru JD Lasica interviewed me a few months back at Girls In Tech's Santa Cruz retreat about the topic of women and public speaking.  This is a subject near to my heart, and I'm on a mission to make sure women become more prominent players in the conference speaking circuit.  So please enjoy, and if you think it's helpful, pass it along!

In the wake of this week’s F8 Conference, where Facebook gathered an ungodly number of frothing developers to talk about the fate of the social web, we got to see another example of Mark Zuckerberg on stage.

I was in Safeway tonight, and nearly wept with joy at the sight of Gordon Gekko’s smug face staring back at me from the cover of Vanity Fair.

Tomorrow I’ll be giving a “Power & Presence” workshop for the San Francisco Chapter of Girls In Tech.  I’ve been looking forward to this workshop for months, because the women I meet through Girls In Tech always dazzle me with their purpose and energy.  So of course, when I saw that today is International Women’s Day, I was reminded of what a privilege it is to work with these women, teaching them to be more powerful speakers!
