A lovely lady sat clutching her syllabus. Seated in the third row, she was excited to be at the conference. However, 15 minutes into the session, it happened: She lost her battle with boredom and her chin hit her chest. A few moments later she startled awake, mortified. Her cat nap wasn’t her fault!
While genealogy was her passion, there was no passion emanating from that room. The well-intentioned speaker had taken the same old path of boring slides and monotone explanations.
That day I made a promise to myself to deliver passionate, entertaining presentations packed with solid answers people could use right away. And yes, I would even look outside of the genealogy industry for solutions to tough genealogical challenges.
My class “How the Genealogist Can Remember Everything with Evernote!” is a perfect example. We all yearn for a flawless memory. Since that’s not possible, I went in search of a technological answer and found it in Evernote. You will leave this class armed with strategies for using Evernote to put your research notes at your fingertips. There isn’t a genealogist who couldn’t benefit from this free program.
Another example: My class “How to Create an Exciting, Interactive Family History Tour with Google Earth.” I brazenly declare on my show The Genealogy Gems Podcast
Please join me for some exciting sessions!
