Attendees at #AWS2019 have asked for my slides. They don’t stand alone, but I’m happy to share. My core message: @WomenSurgeons experts are professionally less visible and under-compensated, but we can change that.
If someone leaves your talk with this ‘take-home’, it’s a #FAIL.
Of course you know your stuff. But does the *audience* know something new? Something useful? Something actionable?
That’s what real success looks like for a #speaker.

Forget building your talk around key points. Have a true purpose that’s relevant to your audience. Connect every slide and every story to that purpose.
What is the new future - what will the audience do differently and better when they leave the room?
There are many ways to structure equitable compensation. Work isn’t all about money. But preparing and delivering presentations without ROI is not viable in the long term.
Don’t assume others know what you know, or even know what you do.
Make it easy for others to ‘get it’ - to think of you, recommend you, and articulate why your work is relevant to others’ needs.
That’s effective professional #branding. @WomenSurgeons
