Seth Godin changed my presentation style forever. As a nerdy accountant struggling to find my voice, I first stumbled upon his book called Purple Cow. I was hooked.
His e-book Really Bad PowerPoint, saved my first big presentation - although it caused me to lose an entire night's sleep as I re-wrote my presentation the night before I delivered it.
His messages are clear and he does what he talks about.
A few weeks ago, I joined his group,Triiibes, which was formed in anticipation of his next book. There I found a group of fellow devotees including to my surprise, other accountants.
I was timid at first, and inspired to share and post a blog entry later.
One of my entries has found its way into his latest e-book called The Tribes Casebook. It is a compilation of stories contributed by the Tribe. It is amazing what members of this inspired group have contributed.
Thanks Seth, for giving me my two pages of fame!

I am an accountant on a mission. I want to permanently remove the blight of BORING that has attached itself to members of my profession.
But the boring blight doesn't stop there. It's everywhere. I've found it in wineries (although it's a tad more palatable when served with alcohol), in science labs, even in Art museums. And technology people carry the "B" gene too. But the condition need not be fatal. I lecture around the country to accountants and technology audiences and I have a ball. I was a partner in an Atlanta CPA firm when I realized technology was my true passion and I have been fighting the nerd versus geek battle ever since. Through some stroke of absolutely amazing luck, I now find myself in Napa -- the most gorgeous, hospitable place imaginable. Are you on Twitter? You can follow my nerdy life there : evenanerd Contact me [email protected] I am a graduate of the Jeff Justice Comedy Workshoppe and the Persuasive Speaker course taught by Speechworks. I highly recommend both of these organizations. I have also taken training from the amazing Lynda Spillane. I am not unbiased, nor do I wish to be. I have done work for anyone and everyone in the software industry or the accounting profession. If I am not impressed by what you do or can't find an angle that is interesting or unique, I won't work for or with you. And if you are stodgy or boring, there are not enough dollars or even euros to make me help you. See samples of my writing here: www.salestaxradar.com www.mybizcounts.com  Archives
