"Bob Baker is a natural. When he gives a presentation he makes it look completely effortless, a skill every speaker yearns to master. He's funny, accessible, and always informative. I learn something new every time I hear him speak, because he never gives the same talk twice. When Bob spoke to one of my writing classes, they were completely captivated for two hours."
-Bobbi Linkemer, author of How to Write a Nonfiction Book
If you're hoping to just sit on your butt for 4 or 5 hours, don't come!
That's right.
This is not a workshop for people who like to sit back and watch. Bob has designed this event to be fun, hands-on and interactive. So come prepared to meet people and discuss the creative goals that are most important to you.
Are you worried this might force you to go outside your comfort zone?
If so, that's all the more reason to attend. Don't play small. You have something of value to offer the world through your music, your words, your art, or your ideas.
Step up and let your light shine!

But don't worry.
You won't be forced to quack like a chicken or do anything goofy. But you must be willing to interact and share some of yourself with others. And by doing so, you will grow, be inspired, and perhaps even motivate someone else to reach their own artistic goals.
