On Being Invited to Speak at #TEDxMacUni 2012

For many people, speaking to a large audience is a cause for fear and anxiety. Over the years, I've developed a passion for sharing my thoughts, concepts and experiences through public speaking to anyone willing to listen as I truly believe that I have 'ideas worth spreading'. I was introduced to TED.com by a good friend in 2009. I became an instant fan of these "riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world" whose mission is simply in spreading ideas. 

You can imagine my delight when I was invited to speak at the TEDx Macquarie University event (#TEDxMacUni) in Sydney in August 2012. As a self-described Connector, the 'No Boundaries' theme is a perfect match for my favorite topic - connection. The challenge of presenting my ideas in a compelling way in under 18 minutes to both a live and online audience can only be described as the most honorable thrill.
The other bonus of attending the event is sharing the stage with a smart and eclectic group of speakers including the vivacious Internet chef, Bridget Davis and the inspirational Tim Noonan. I can't wait.
