		<description>I do know what you mean, but I am not sure you have to be an expert on something to be a speaker.  It depends on the venue/format of the presentation of course, but you could run a workshop without being an expert.  

A workshop would be something where you have an idea you want to flesh out and you want to gather 10-12 people in a room for a day to really work it over.  In that case, just being passionate about the topic and a good facilitator would be all you need to run something.

Or you could speak with someone; co-present.

In a way, 9rules is like a virtual unconference so you are gathering speaking experience each time you blog and interact with your commenters. :)</description>

		<description>I do know what you mean, but I am not sure you have to be an expert on something to be a speaker.  It depends on the venue/format of the presentation of course, but you could run a workshop without being an expert.  

A workshop would be something where you have an idea you want to flesh out and you want to gather 10-12 people in a room for a day to really work it over.  In that case, just being passionate about the topic and a good facilitator would be all you need to run something.

Or you could speak with someone; co-present.

In a way, 9rules is like a virtual unconference so you are gathering speaking experience each time you blog and interact with your commenters. :)</description>

		<description>Good find, Matto. I&#039;ve thought about public speaking more (outside of business fraternity meetings) and this seems like a good place to start..

Now all I have to do is become an expert on something.. ;)</description>
