My Everyday Carry (EDC) as a traveling Speaker and Facilitator
➡️ All my gear: https://kit.co/SARAHSCALACONSULTING
Lately many bloggers are sharing what they carry every day. This movement is known as Everyday Carry or EDC. I thought it would be fun to write a blog sharing what I typically carry - my EDC as a speaker and facilitator.
In addition to serving as a certified executive and team coach, as well as organizational development consultant, I have a lot of facilitation and speaking events where I am featured.
I now video record most of my public speaking engagements so that I can critique my work and to create short video clips on Youtube for marketing.
As a professional speaker and entrepreneur, there is specific equipment that I never leave home without.
My EDC includes:
Timbuk2 Messenger Bag - I have had this bag for over 10 years! Very durable, waterproof, protected laptop pocket
Lenovo ThinkPad X390 Yoga 2 in 1 notebook - I love this laptop, not only for presentation, but because it includes a stylus that is garaged in the laptop for taking notes
Smartphone: I shoot all video with my Samsung smartphone, putting it in airplane mode
Sandisk 200 GB SD card - when shooting video, having a lot of memory is critical
Anker portable charger - this is connected tot he phone whenever I record video to ensure I have enough battery power
Wide angle lens - especially useful if in a smaller room
Remote - wireless, USB remote
Hdmi cable - to plug in projecto
Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker - in case the venue doesn’t have a sound system- loud and light weight
GorillaPod mobile tripod - used in smaller rooms
Nexstand Laptop Stand – Portable Laptop Stand – PC and MacBook - this stand is very lightweight and durable - great for travel
