09.15.2008 Monday: Flying to/through Texas

Picture of: Pile of things on the desk of my hotel room. Included is a piece of doll clothing that apparently one of my daughters placed in my suitcase. Odd. Funny.

Today I: woke up early after a rough night of FMS pain; finished the last minute packing things; drove to airport with daughter #4 and wife #1; did the cattle-call loading on to the plane; flew across the southwest in seat 14F, apparently the new improved smallest-seat-we-ever-made seat--I normally don't gripe hard about flying but today I was just reminded how much of a "bus with wings" air travel has become; got rental car; drove to hotel and settled in, Austin Texas style; joined my sponsors for dinner- great great hotel at Lost Pines; presented a short evening presentation (based on the Storytelling 101 Kit) of the essence of corporate storytelling along with a mini-concert of stories; crashed in hotel room;

08.25.2008 Monday: Notify the Press!

Picture of: last piece of bread from our meal tonight.

Today I: had a staff meeting at breakfast and worked on calendars; updated and retooled the Storytelling 101 package to a different, lower price point; worked on the press release for the "Ancient Secret of Public Speaking" workshops coming up in October and November; set the date for the next live version of the "Outside In Artist Marketing Workshop" for February 26-28 in Phoenix Arizona; did some research on a new story and found some interesting old variants- that kind of storytelling stuff is what I love in creating new stories to tell; had a late night dinner with my wife to celebrate our anniversary (Aug 15).

08.21.2008 Thursday: Coaching and Prepping

Picture: the cover of the new college textbook "The Oral Tradition Today: An Introduction to the Art of Storytelling" by Liz Warren. Nice job, Liz.

Today I: spoke with the sponsors for this weekend's storytelling event; emailed a potential new sponsor in New York; did the bank and post office errand run; cleaned out the drain of the tub in the "kids'" bathroom at our house; did an in-person coaching session with two clients tonight in their storytelling projects; twittered; was pleased to see our information products starting to sell; daughter #4 wants you to know that the dog is not mean- I told her that I knew that already. She also wants you to know that the picture a few days ago from the Boot Camp was of her hands making that sandwich.
