The blog's going great, though I think I'm going to start posting on here more often. And, I may have some speaking-type opportunities lined up for this summer (not really set in stone yet, more on this in the new year).
What I'm trying to figure out is how to take it further; be more pro-active. Well, I've been mulling it all over for the last couple days, and I think I've got a plan figured out.
First thing, plan more speaking. It was suggested to me that it might be easier to make motivational speaking the priority in regards to advocacy, with the writing coming as a natural second. Seems like a good idea.
Second, do some research. Over the last week, I've been going through things like my résumé, past speeches, and even old Facebook posts to look back on what I did previously, and look for any past contacts who may be able to offer some help.
Third, and probably the most important, look for another job. The service provider I'm with has proven very useful and proactive at helping me look for work. Right now, I'm waiting to hear back from a few places, one of which looks very promising.
All this, plus one or two other ideas I'm kicking around should prove to be effective, or at the very least, keep me busy.
Cheers until next time.
