I had another interesting new experience as a motivational speaker last night. I was the guest speaker at a local community dinner event and in the front row was a seeing-eye dog. This was the first time in my entire speaking career that I have had a dog in my audience. Things worked out quite well as it stayed quiet throughout my presentation but near the end when I had the audience engaged in a loud participation activity, the dog did sit up. No problem as the owner ensured the dog that everything was okay.
