As a small business owner, I travel around and speak to groups.  I happen to love being in front of an audience, sharing a different perspective on the topic at hand.   For me, watching the “light go on” is what I love most about talking with other people in a group setting.  I share a little of myself, what I know and am always surprised at how people respond.

As you know, I’m also a blogger.  There have been times I have written posts which are extremely personal.  One in particular was a story about how organizing my home office changed my life.  It’s been one of the most popular posts I’ve ever written.  This surprised me, as I was really hesitant to even hit “publish”.  People were surprised and related to my story.

Creating “WOW” by sharing what you know.

I think creating a wow experience can happen when you share something you have learned in your own life or business.  Whether talking with an audience or a client, people resonate with what you have been through.  They relate to you and understand where you are coming from, as they may be in the throws of going through a simliar experence themselves.  When it’s comfortable, even in business, sharing a personal experience connects people and creates a sense of community.

What do you know, and would be willing to share, that would “wow” your community and help someone?
