At the last SMACC outing in Dublin there was a stand-out lecture by Dr Ross Fisher ( @ffoliet ) entitled:  Things that Scare Me.  Ross is a bit of a presentation guru - and hence he had plenty of pressure on to deliver a great talk.... and he did exactly that.  It was a pin-drop-silently, slideless baring of the soul. This is the back story behind the talk that lead Ross to learn a lot about himse...
