Then it was time for my talk! Alana was the first one there, and for a while I thought she might be my only attendee. But then, to my shock and surprise, Thayer Hutchinson showed up! She had booked a session with me about six months prior, and she has been a frequent participant in various Facebook posts. While I didn't remember her session, I definitely recognized her name from all the Facebook interactions we'd had! She lives in Santa Fe, which is less than an hour away.
Two more locals and friends of Michelle attended as well, so we had four people from the outside, plus Michelle for a total of five participants. I got to practice the workshop aspect of the talk and I was provided a white board that I used to invite the participants to contribute to the topics.
It was a little less structured and a little more impromptu, which I think worked great for a smaller group. If it had been larger, I probably would have needed to involve a little more planning and structure for best results.
Here's Thayer and I after the event
Tomorrow I get up early to get ready to see the Tsankawi Trail at Bandelier National Monument with Alana!
