1. You, are a guru

    Even if you don’t feel like an expert, your knowledge and experience will be new and useful to someone. From the article:

    “…you are there to share your stories. Think through your day. Did you fix a particularly nasty bug? You got a story. Did you scout all over the internet and finally figure out how to implement that feature you wanted? You got a story. Did you chain up two seemingly unrelated tools and came up with a solution to your problem? You got a story.”

    So what are you waiting for? Sign up to speak at a conference!
