Too bad I can't be there!
Maybe they will video tape it and we can see you on a video!

I know they're audiotaping because I have to sign some sort of a release...I am SO floored and in complete disbelief!

That would be really cool if yours was the recording that ended up on supply order. :)

OMG you guys are making me SO nervous!
 
No need to be nervous. Just think of it as a reeeeeaaaaaallllllyyy big show.
 
Congrats!!!!!! that is so exciting!!!! Im sure you will do a great job:)
 
Just remember, Carolyn, that we may not all be in the same wave or in your workshop, but we'll all be pulling for you, knowing that you're going to do a great job and truly help a lot of consultants.
{{{hugs}}}
 
What an awesome honor! I would be scared to death too! My director put my name in a couple years ago to do a Pampered Partner or web class but they never called - whew! She thinks I am an expert but I know that there's a ton I don't know!

You will be fine! Just prepare well and say a prayer and then HAVE FUN with it!
 
Can you at least give us hints? I so want to learn from you! You can tell us. We won't let you know we're there!

I spoke to my advanced director today. She said somewhere along the way I had checked off "yes" on a questionairre when asked whether or not I would be willing to present a workshop. They called her earlier this week to ask her a zillion questions about me. then they called ME today!
I am SO flattered but incredibly nervous!!!! And I feel SO not worthy!

NO NO NO NO NO - I am SO afraid that one of my teammates will be there or someone I know and I would just DIE!
 
You're obviously worthy. Besides, you have all of the vast knowledge you've gathered from us. Oh, wait. Maybe it's just been really bad jokes. Nevermind.

You're still worthy, though.

ROFL
See - how am I gonna stand up there and NOT throw out a few crude jokes?!?!
 
Jokes work! You have offered great advice that I have read on here. It always seems they have a co-presenter that you all can lean on each other. From what I have seen, she will be leaning on you.

I am looking forward to listening to it on a CD! :) :cool: :)
 
Congrats Carolyn! You give such great advice here...it's only natural they should pick you!

I will be looking for you at conference. Just make sure it is not the night before we are at the pino bar! LOL:p

Ok, we don't want her to die of hysterics before she presents!
She'll be picturing us all in our Chef Success thongs... LOL!

Carolyn - on the shock, awe, and feeling not worthy - relax! You are worthy. You have TPC is sales and MOST of us don't! You're OBVIOUSLY doing SOMETHING right!
 
Are those thongs on backwards or on the waving guy dressed in blue?
 
Carolyn! You will be awesome Girl!I think the best thing you have going for you (besides all of your great advice and wisdom) is that you keep it so real! You have obviously worked your business in a professional and successful manner - but you keep us laughing while you are doing it! I would be honored to sit in a workshop that you are teaching.....and I'd probably be letting everyone around me know that I know you!!! (Unless you were wearing a Post Slut T-shirt...then I might have to think twice!:D :p )
 
Becky - You are funny. I forgot about the post slut t-shirt.
 
Oh I would want to be in the front row for that one!! Of course I would have to buy a poncho to protect my clothes from all the boogers. You will all recognize me-LOL- I will be the one wearing a rain poncho-humming Barry tunes!!! LOL!!!!:D

Wouldn't it be great to get the whole front row swaying and singing "You Know I can't smile without you......?":D
