Survival!

I survived my birthday, it was actually a great day. I spent the day attending a work conference where I had to give a presentation on higher education. The presentation was fine and at the end I put up a slide with my mobile number on it for people to text me their questions. I've used this strategy a number of times and it has been successful. It saves me the stress of trying to hear the question and allows me to "filter" the questions. It also keeps an audience on task and I usually make it entertaining. After my presentation I was told that there were a few people who questioned why they couldn't just put their hand up and ask a question the old fashioned way. I guess you can't win them all!
