On Public Speaking

Nick Morgan wrote a book entitled "Give Your Speech, Change the World: How to Move Your Audience to Action". It's a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to go into the field of public speaking.

When I think a little deeper about it, the only worthwhile reason for giving a speech, a group presentation, or even a one-on-one meeting for that matter, is to change the world.  Indeed, what other purpose could there be?

May I always bear this in mind whenever I communicate with another person...

On Commitment

Today is D-Day; Decision Day
Today I decide to be successful;
To be a better communicator
To be a a great connector of people
This is my commitment

It is not easy to put a stake on the ground
To finally commit to something that 
Seems so much bigger than what I see myself
Achieving  at this moment in time
Yet this is precisely the point of commitment
I connect to my future self
And embrace him as my Destiny
