Stupidest Dog

I’ve seen my share of unintelligent dogs (Labrador anyone?), but this one takes the cake. Watch what happens when he gets protective of the bone he’s gnawing on… yea that’s right his own foot is after it. Bwahahahaaaaaah!

Cement Soccer Ball

I kinda feel bad for laughing at this but I just can’t help it. Someone thought it’d be a good idea to fill a soccer ball with cement and trick some little kids into kicking it. Go ahead and laugh, we won’t tell anyone.

The Human Slingshot

I think she pulls a few G’s on this one.

Beatboxing With A Harmonica

Yuri Lane beatboxes using a harmonica.This man revolutionized beatboxing and really brought it into the limelight. Now, many more people are beatboxing and many of those utilize a harmonica in their acts.

Begin with the relationship with yourself. You’d better feel good about that lest it infect all others.

If you devote even ten minutes to creating a simple listing you may surprise yourself how quickly the names and categories add up. Give it an hour and you’ll likely be stunned. Now, for each one, if your relationship were objectively rated on a scale ranging from “Excellent” to “Poor” how would you measure up? And why? Is it neglect or indifference or simply unawareness?
If you cavalierly admit that you don’t care and it’s only the performance that counts, think again. I’ve known and heard about many otherwise excellent speakers who are so difficult to work with that event planners simply won’t suffer a second time in dealing with them. And, since such word travels quickly, how many bookings will “ Mr. or Ms. Difficult” never get due to that reputation?
I recently asked as planner pal if a particular speaker who was on her program was as difficult to work with as was reputed, she quickly retorted: “Not difficult at all. He was impossible -- and I’m warning all my friends.”

The Key To Success in Speaking

There are countless ways to describe and analyze what constitutes success in speaking. Elements such as “an important message well delivered” – “commanding stage presence” -- “effective marketing so as to become known to many planners” – “topic flexibility so you can stay ahead of changing times.” -- -- “organizational ability” etc.
But if there’s a single word that towers above all when it comes to success, it’s “Relationships.” After five decades of business speaking (more than three of them as a professional) I affirm this even more.
Yes, it will take you some time, but to prove my point, simply delineate -- and then describe -- the myriad relationships you are involved with, willingly or not. In broad terms divide them professionally and personally with some intertwined. Since there are so many relationships each of us is involved with, I suggest you write down a few of the most important and tell why they are vital.
