Whitney Hess gives a presentation on how to evangelize yourself and share your message with others. She outlines three parts: sharing your message through blogging, public speaking, and using social media like Twitter; building a network both online and offline by connecting with others; and exuding confidence by focusing on strengths, taking risks, admitting mistakes, and being reliable. The overall message is that you need to promote yourself and your expertise in order to change the world.
