Becoming a Powerful Public Speaker
People fear public speaking over death. Is that shocking or what? As I coach people on becoming a more confident speaker, I often get questions on how to incorporate jokes, how much time should a speaker take to prepare and how many powerpoint slides should a speaker use. These are all great questions. Before anyone can even answer these questions the mainpoint to keep in mind is "How to Influence Your Audience". WIIFM (What Is In It For Me - the Audience)
In the March 2008 issue of BusinessWeek, communications coach Carmine Gallo focuses on "How to Inspire People Like Obama Does". The article focuses on using rhetorical devices, exuding confident body language and dynamic vocal delivery.

Best Practices: Improve your memory skills for better networking
Jennifer Goddard wrote a great blog post on BNET.com called "OMG, Did You Just Forget the Client’s Name?".
Have you ever forgotten a client's name or even someone you just met? If you answered yes to either question, you're not alone. We tend to be on information overload causing us to forget some of the most simple things such as someone's name.
To help me improve my memory, a friend of mine recommended The Memory Book: The Classic Guide to Improving Your Memory at Work, at School, and at Play by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas. This book has some valuable tips and exercises to help you improve your memory in the areas of:

Ways to continue your learning (Part 2)
In my previous blog post The benefits of continuous learning (Part 1), I focused on the benefits of learning. Now, let’s take a look at how you can accomplish various ways to continue your learning.
Volunteer your services: Joining a non-profit committee is a great opportunity to use your current skills and expand on skills you’re looking to develop. Non-profits are always looking for volunteers to fill gaps.
Podcasts and Webcasts: Since inception, podcasts and webcasts have been a great tool for distant learning. There are many sites that you can visit to find podcasts and webcasts on various topics. They are easily downloadable to your pc or mp3 player and can be accessed at anytime (some charges may apply).
Books on tape/ cd: An effective way to learn during your commute to work or business travel. This method will require you to spend money, but at the same time you’re expanding your learning base. There are books on tape/ cd that you can get ranging from various topics.
Start a reading routine: Whether it’s an online paper, blog or book, start a routine to further educate yourself. Drew, a great friend of mine visits Barnes and Noble and Borders and reads the periodicals to keep abreast of the current events for free. You can also visit your local library where it cost you nothing.
Attend college classes: There are non-traditional ways to achieve this. Audit classes at your alma mater, local college or community college. If you don’t want to attend a two-year program, you can also get a certification in your field to keep you up on your industry. Many colleges also offer distance learning classes so that you never have to step foot in the classroom.
Seminars and workshops: Another great way to expand your learning base and meet people within your industry. Again, there will be some type of cost associated with it, but sometimes your employer may reimburse the cost.
Try something new: Pursue your wild ideas, learn a skill or craft that you’ve never tried before (dance, playing an instrument, painting or photography).
These methods are a few of many that you can use to increase your learning. Even if you graduated last year or twenty years ago, the learning journey is never over.
Have fun and keep learning!

The benefits of continuous learning (Part 1)
According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, with a downturn in the economy, there has been an increase in the amount of admission applications to business schools for advanced degrees. Why wait for a slow down in the economy, loss of job, or even wait until the kids graduate college in order to advance your learning.
“Don’t ever think you know as much as you need to know, or that you know more than the majority so you’re better off and that’s good enough. There will always be something to learn, something to discover. Be humble in your knowledge and continually try to learn as much as you can.” Mondaybynoon.com
There are multiple ways to continue your learning without having to put two or more years of your life, job or family on hold and it will not break your bank. Let’s take a look at the value of continuous learning and ways we can go about accomplishing this.
Benefits of continuous learning:
It keeps you alert, more interesting, and your mind sharp: This will be very beneficial especially when networking or having small talk at the water cooler. You don’t want to get left behind.
Meet new people: Allows you to make connections that can link to future jobs, business partner(s), and just new friends period.
Earn a higher income: Learning new skills has a potential to increase your income. What critical thinking and analytical skills do you need in your industry to help you increase your income?
According to Samuel Odle, “Lifelong learning is crucial to our personal success as well as the success of our organizations. Gaining new skills and knowledge energizes us; it gives us strength to tackle the challenges we face in our everyday jobs …”
Stay tuned for Ways to continue your learning (Part 2)
