Full Interview with Dana LaMon
Dana LaMon is an international speaker, author, former Californian judge, father, and blind. Dana LaMon interviewed on Skype with Melanie Suzanne Wilson, Toastmasters D70 Social Media Officer, in the lead up to his Australian visit. Dana will give the keynote speech and educational sessions at the 2015 Toastmasters District 70 (NSW & ACT) Annual Conference. He will then speak on ‘Packing Power into your Presentations’ at 99 on York, in Sydney’s CBD. Dana is technologically traditional. He uses a 1970 phone. It has no caller id. The loud ringing resonates. He loves it. A nearby iPad belongs to Erica, Dana’s assistant. Despite Dana’s aversion to technology, he still uses an iPhone. The voice over with Siri proves to be useful. For someone less fond of technology, Dana is doing alright. He authored a blog since 2011. Why did Dana originally choose to create a blog? “The blog provided ways to get message out, besides being on platform on stage.”
