Volunteer Orientations
Mood:  lazy
Now Playing: Golden Dreams by David Bowie for the Trainspotting #2 soundtrack
For a reason that I cannot fathom, I signed up to deliver New Volunteer Orientations for a local organization that I volunteer through. Anyone who knows me is aware that I am a pseudo-extrovert. Speaking in front of groups of people is difficult. However, when "preaching the gospel," anything is easy. One of the pillars of marketing is that your customers are your best salespeople. There was a time where I was "evangelical" about the organization. Now my "religious zeal" is tempered with a kind of sobriety. I love the work and the opportunities that I have had because of them. I personally seek something more and as I go on, I find that what I am looking for is not necessarily found in volunteer work. So...my challenge is to get people excited while not betraying that I am not always. I do believe that these are to be my last two orientation for the year. Wish me luck.
