The past couple of weeks have been very busy between speaking and the conference I am planning at work.

I did want to mention some of the places I have been speaking at this past week and a half.

ITT Tech in Pittsburgh had a large job fair for three of the local campuses. In order to kick the fair off right they brought me in to speak on “Finding Your Passion and Not Your Job.” I want to thank Dana Melvin from ITT Tech in Greentree for arranging this engagement!

A few days later I was at Seton Hill University in Greensburg, PA speaking on behalf of the Pittsburgh Technology Council. I spoke to a group of freshman on the information technology industry in Pittsburgh and how these students can get more involved in technology careers. Becky Campbell from Seton Hill is to thank for arranging this event. Becky came to the event fairly sick, thanks for being a trooper Becky!

Finally, just the other day I was asked to speak at the Community College of Allegheny County to a group of high school students who attend a special school within the college. There were about 200 students in attendance. This was my first non high school speaking engagement in some time so I was looking forward to it. I think it went very well! The one thing I like about high school students over college students is the fact that you can be silly with high school students. College students are more serious and more business like than high school students are. I tell a story about a “3-Pack-a-day-rooster” that we met in Thiland a few years back. In order to grab the students attention I had two of the students come up on stage and give their best rooster crow. Vinny and Tim did a great job! College students would never do that.

Charles Bostaph and Carol Johnston made this event run very smoothly. Thank you for your support and for making this event very special!

Sorry for the delay in not posting for about a week, but life can sometime get in the way of blogging.

Hope you enjoy some of the photos from this past week or so.
