| Creating a Dynamic Speech – Part Two |

What separates great speakers from the merely good? Preparation. And what key element of preparation is often overlooked? Rehearsal. Be professional and show respect for your audience by taking the time to rehearse your presentation.

| The Messenger, Not the Message |
|
|
Our communication can create cooperation and camaraderie, or it can create confrontation and conflict. It can make our life at work and off work easy and pleasant, or it can make it unnecessarily difficult. The choice is ours.

| Book Reports – “Blink” and “Tipping Point” |
|
Listed on the Globe and Mail’s best seller list for over 2 years, Malcolm Gladwell’s book “The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference” is one of our “Recommended Reads”.
Read this book if you’re about to introduce a new product, service or idea to your customers or to your fellow employees. If your company uses focus groups, read this book. You will likely find yourself looking at the process from a different perspective and with a different set of tools at hand.
Less absorbing is Mr. Gladwell’s next publication “Blink”. Blink is quite entertaining although a bit repetitive. The concepts are easily understood and it might have been a crisper read if the book was shorter.
