The Tech Savvy Woman

This past weekend I was invited to present a workshop at a Women’s Retreat – they wanted me to do something utilizing my graphic design/computer skills and so I came up with the idea of “The Tech Savvy Woman.” I put together my top 10 websites that I thought women should be aware of in order to make their lives more simple.

Let’s just say that I do not consider myself a public speaker and I was so nervous about getting up in front of all of those people (there were over 600 women at the retreat). However, I managed to make it through two 45-minute sessions without passing out. And honestly, it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the excitement of sharing something I love with a group of women who were genuinely interested. The average age of those in my session was probably 45-60 years old and they ate up the resources I gave them. They left excited to go home and visit the websites and see how they could benefit their lives. It was an awesome experience and I’m really glad that they asked me to do it.

(In case you’re interested, I’ve included the basics of the presentation below:)
