Our Bluesky meetup & book launch is tonight. Super casual, drop by the Lamplighter anytime after 4:30pm.
International orders (USA to CAN) are taking longer to arrive (May 15-20 now) but I know Amazon orders have arrived.
I’ll have one shiny copy of the book to display tonight though 🥹

I like practicing in front of my friends (they’re a tough audience!). It helps me build confidence and get comfortable with my delivery. I also record myself to catch any areas for improvement. Excited for the final presentations! #UCWCOMM205 @wahibachair.com @elvafisher.bsky.social

This course was amazing! The most practical I had! The biggest learning for me was the 3Cs. As a Spanish speaker it is challenging to be concise while writing. Thanks a lot to @elvafisher.bsky.social and @wahibachair.com for this great journey.

Don't have any tips to add, but he gives some great tips when it comes to practicing our presentations.
The one that stood out the most to me was tip #3 to focus on 1 or 2 improvements at a time. Focusing on too many can cause us to poorly develop on each.
