A Five Year Old Presenter at SharePoint Saturday Philly
The first words out of my 5 year old’s mouth this morning were, “Dad, how many days until I’m on stage with you at SharePoint Saturday Philly?” The answer was “7″, one less than the “8″ I told her about when the lights went out last night.
I like to include my kids on what I’m doing, whether it’s speaking at a SharePoint event or conference, down to how EndUserSharePoint.com is doing as a business and what we can be doing better. My daughter is very excited about being part of the process now that she’s old enough to be part of the presentation. We practice as we walk down the street. We are counting the days to the event. She’s wondering what part she is going to play.
For those who saw my 7 year old son present at SharePoint Saturday New York and SharePoint Saturday Chicago, you know my children don’t take a backseat to anyone when it comes to performance presentations, not even their Dad. At the end of his introduction, he stated emphatically, “And that’s why my Dad invented SharePoint!”
I look forward to seeing you at SharePoint Saturday Philly next weekend when my 5 year old daughter talks about other things I’ve invented… hopefully not the internet, since that claim to fame has already been staked.

Hey mark, I saw you and your son doing the presentation at SPSNYC and it was defenitly inspirational to see how you include your kids in your work. He did great, I’m sure your daughter will do just as well. He was just so engaged and was excited to be doing it. It was great.
LOL!!! Love it Mark!!!!
Very cool that you involve your kids in your presentations Mark. I totally respect that and think its awesome that you are exposing them to such experiences early in their life. Plus I am sure they love any chance they can get to hang with their dad!
This is great stuff. I will be the same with my children when I have them.
I see where she gets her looks …. spitting image of you.
Mark,
I am sure your daughter would definitely say ” That’s Why My DAD invented Share Point”
I am glad you add more members from your family to the Share Point Community.
Thank You,
Vijay
