Teaching a Workshop on Proposal Writing

On August 4th, 2010, I am teaching a workshop at the DC Procurement Technical Assistance Center on how to write a winning proposal.  I am very excited because I haven’t done any public speaking or training for over a year.  It’s funny how it works.  I’m usually extremely nervous before I have to speak in front of a group of people.  However, when I get up there, I smile and just do it.  The only thing I really focus on is not talking too fast because I tend to do that when I get nervous. 

Proposal writing is a passion of mine. I love doing it (I know, weird), and I love teaching others, so I know that it will be a good time had by all. I’m going to try and get a collection of cheat sheets or an E-Book together, so I can distribute it to the attendees. 

Below is my tentative workshop plan:

Workshop Plan for Writing a Winning Proposal

The first workshop is going to be small.  It will be 35 business owners attending, and I am happy that I actually have filled the slots. One thing I love about a small workshop is that you are able to answer more questions and interact with everyone in a more personal level.

If I am successful, I am planning on turning this into a web-based workshop. Wish me luck!
