I'm in Chicago right now, doing a success speaker seminar.  I always thought I was a decent speaker.  Maybe even really good.  Then we had our exercises.  I realize that I use up a lot of nervous...

Real quick, for those of you from another country who may have just stumbled upon my blog.  The Muny is America's oldest and largest outdoor theatre.  It is in one of the largest parks in the United...
