Public Speaking Tips 3: An Over-Looked Secret for an Awesome Opening

continued from part 2

It’s a packed house. The audience is waiting to hear from you and you have prepared an outstanding talk. You’re ready to hit them with an opening that’ll make‘em say “Wow!”

And then…

Before you even have a chance to open your mouth, things start to fall apart.

People in the audience are getting restless and bored. You see too many yawns to count. Others are getting irritated. It’s killing you, but you can’t do anything about it right now.

Why?

Eating Right, Thinking Right

Eating healthy and thinking healthy go hand because your mind and body have an inescapable effect on each other. Substances introduced to the body affect the mind; processes introduced to the mind affect the body. Think about that.

Think right. Eat right. Live right.

Dead Brand Walking: Mega-Millennial Chris Brown is Done

“Mom, I’m out.”

“Where are you going?”

Mom goes on rant that’s too profane to write here. She ends with:

“Your not going and that’s final.”

See what I mean? Dead Brand Walking.

The Millennials: Lost Generation?

I’ve been going through my YouTube favorites again. The other day I posted the Generation We video. Here’s another amazing video on the Millennials: Lost Generation. It’s simply brilliant.
