Don’t be afraid to try something new. GP Live at GPUG Amplify

As Pablo Picasso said “I am always doing things I can’t do — that’s how I get to do them.”. Well back a few weeks now whilst attending the inaugural GPUG Amplify event I was invited to be one of the hosts by Pam Misialek, Microsoft - Product Marketing Manager for Microsoft Dynamics SMB for the 1st ever GP Live Broadcast.

GP Live was the brain child of Pam but the Dynamic Communities (GPUG) team helped fund and put the necessary tools in place to make it happen.

When I was asked I said of course I could help. Well the reality sunk in when I got to the event because I would say most of the time I am introvert and I really don’t like to hear or see myself on camera or via other mediums. So here I am with this dilemma, what do I do as I am really nervous about this stuff. Well I said what are the pros and cons about pulling out now. Well the pros out weighted the cons so I throw myself in to the role of host.

By the end of the event we had created over thirty live broadcasts and I been involved in five of those. Have to say by the end of was ready to do more. Here are just the five I was involved.
