  • Good point. I was going to go over cost accounting when I do my next article on the "financials." But since you asked, if you wouldn't mind, tell me what you would like to know? Are you interested in getting a handle on how to cover non-client time, and/or indirect hard costs? Something else?

    I'm trying to write articles that are relevant, and it helps me to get your input.

    Thanks, David

  • Thanks for reading this, Dawn. I'm working on several follow up articles to provide some additional detail. Is there any particular area you're interested in?

    Thanks again.

  • Hi Anna,

    I used to go to Toastmasters, but the whole experience was so hideously painful I could never go back more than twice. I'm sure it works for people - bunches of friends swear by it - but it seemed contrived, and oh so dull.

    I still have to speak in front of large and small groups though, and while I think I muddle through OK, I have challenges.

    I did have a question for you, when I started this rant, and I apologize if you've answered it before somewhere, but I didn't see it. When you are talking (presenting) to a group of folks, say 10 or more, is there a good tactic for checking to see if you're doing the human Sominex thing to them? I personally hate it when someone says "are you still with me?" or the ever popular "now are we all together?" It seems as though, if you have to ask, you've already lost them.

    Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

    • David
