  1. Tomorrow, Friday, December 14, Liz Luby will be talking to the “Build a Better Agent” group regarding E-marketing.  All are invited!!

***** Excuse my while I freak out. *****

I used to be a wanna-be actress appearing in plays and musicals.  I tested my skills on the Lincoln-Douglas Debate team in High School.  (Boy was that a disaster!)  I attended summer school at Northwestern University to learn the art of extemporaneous speaking.  (You would be embarrassed for me if you saw the fruits of that labor, but I did learn to twirl my pencil around my thumb.)  I graduated from College with a Broadcast Journalism degree, spent almost ten years as a radio DJ, TV news reporter and even took a job as an “Anchor Person” for a few years in a small Iowa market.  (One of these days I’ll dig out and dust off my blooper tapes or my fascinating report about that two headed pig.)  But something funny has happened to me since then.  I can’t explain how it started, but somewhere along the line I caught this horrible case of stage fright.  Today I tremble and lose sleep over the thought of speaking in front of people.  When our manager asked me to discuss internet marketing strategies with the other agents in our office I thought, ok, why not?  It’s nice of him to ask.  I haven’t been blogging for very long, but I can speak with some authority about websites and marketing properties online.  I can at least talk about the stuff I’m learning, right? Well, I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.  I understand there will be a few hecklers in the room, thanks to my dear mother, and business partner, Suzanne.  Will I survive?  Probably.  Will I freeze, say “duh” or run out of the room?  It could happen.  Will I speak in tongues or start to swear?  It’s quite possible. I’m not going to let my phobias interfere here, but I do know that I have an emergency escape plan.  It’s like a little YouTube parachute. When the beads of sweat show up, I’ll just play Common Craft’s video explaining Blogs in Plain English.  The video is about three minutes long. I’m hopeful that will be enough time for me to get a grip.

Have a great weekend, Liz
