Double Duty: Starting at the End
If you are going to expend creative energy coming up with a speech, blog post or article it makes sense to use it in multiple venues if you can.
While the phrasing and emphasis may vary depending on your different audiences, this leverages your work and gets you message to more people that you would ordinarily reach.
Tomorrow I will be competing in the second of our Spring Toastmaster contests. This time instead of a tall table it will be a more straightforward serious speech called, Starting at the End.
It will be much the same material as I have already shared here and in a number of articles I have written for the article directories. Only this one will be spoken to an audience within a 5-7 minute time line.
You can hear one of my early dress rehearsals here:

Thus a speech built on the articles I wrote previously lives again, not only as a blog post but also as a podcast sent out to the podcast universe. I like that kind of productivity when I can get it.
