About the Talk
There are many goals that the BIL community has, but if you wanted to find a common thread, it would be that we want to be awesome. Awesome is combination of being smart, kind, fit, ethical, and expert at an area of general interest. Being awesome means meeting someone, telling them who you are and what you do, and having them say, “Wow!” or the equivalent. This talk will tell you how to authentically elicit this reaction more often, from more people.
