Saturday afternoon went off quite well, I did the full write up on the Vision Writers website, so I’ll link you rather than rehashing it all here.
My only concern was I think a lot of the audience might have thought I was playing around on my phone while the event happened – but I was using the stop watch app on my phone to keep an eye on each person’s feedback time. We limit verbal feedback to 2 minutes a piece per person. Nearly everyone kept under, I only had to ring the bell three times. Gah! I hope no one thought I was a jerk on my phone!
Maybe explaining that you would be doing that, might have prevented any notion of being rude on your phone. Oh well, can’t change the past. Except when you can…
