Thoughts from the first day of An Event Apart Boston 2011

This first day of the conference is really making clear the difference between mediocre speakers and good ones. Whether anyone is a good speaker doesn't depend a bit on their intelligence or even their job expertise. Great speakers are entertaining; they tell a story, perhaps humorously; they keep your interest because they're good storytellers. Mediocre speakers just tell you about their topic, and only about their topic, in plain fashion.
