  John McCain gave a speech today on global warming that sent shivers up and down my spine, and not good shivers either. John McCain has jumped aboard the global warming alarmist bandwagon, and has hitched his horse to the came carriage as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. This is just another issue where he is [...]

Thank you my sweet friends for your encouraging comments and emails regarding THE SPEECH. I survived it. It really was not that hard. I took my husbands advice and just spoke from the heart. Based on the comments after, God answered my prayers. I did not want it to be about me or my daughter. I wanted it to be about our Lord Jesus. I wanted to glorify Him with what He has given to us.

Michelle Obama is the same kind of polarizing figure Hillary Clinton was, but without the political savvy. Besides her obnoxious "Elect Obama so we won't suck" attitude, she reminds me of the, yes, sometimes "bitter" workers at the DMV. And, you know how guys joke about their subservience to their wife ("Yeah, I have to check with the boss." You can see it clearly on TV commercials- A wife allows her husband to have the big screen TV after hiding it somewhere.)? Well, it's only funny if it isn't or couldn't be true; you don't hear women say, "I have to ask permission from my husband" or "He'll beat me up if I do that." Barack and Michelle joke around like that a lot, but I don't think it's funny because I suspect that Barack really is scared of Michelle. Heck, who wouldn't be? Anyways,

So I decided to try MacSpeech’s new MacSpeech Dictate software to see if it really could make my life easier. Don’t know much about that yet, but after installing it and “training” it with my voice, So, how accurate are these software packages? I designed a simple test: A 100 word passage.

Three things jump out at me:1. You have to be pretty cynical to accuse your opponent of coddling terrorists and then (minutes later?) face the TV cameras and say about the campaign, "I fear we're gonna see all those horrible attack ads." But it's the kind of cynicism you'd expect from someone who--when it's politically expedient--promises voters to serve no more than two terms and then goes back on her word when it interferes with her career plans.2. I'm also puzzled by the speech's core message, which seems to be A) Democrats are hyper-partisan, interest group-coddlers who can't be trusted and B) I'm the strongest candidate because I work so well with Democrats. (Of course, evidence be damned, everyone knows the junior senator is a moderate-bipartisan-centrist, so naturally the Maine pres

I like to share with you some points that may help you with public speaking. As from what most of us have experienced, talking before a crowd can actually weaken our knees, wet our palms, shake our voices, and so much more. These points may somehow assist you whenever you need to speak before the audience (may it be a large crowd or three panelists).Point #1 Know your audienceBeing a speaker to a crowd, first thing you should consider is to know your listeners. This will greatly help you from point of planning the outline of your speech to choosing appropriate words and strategies of getting their attention.Point #2 Nothing beats preparationIf you have the time to prepare for your speech, please do so. Try to make a simple plan on how you want your points to be delivered. Making an outline

Twenty-five years after Reagan's Star Wars speech By David Wright and Lisbeth Gronlund | 1 April 2008 On March 23, 1983, President Ronald Reagan made his famous Star Wars speech, announcing his plan to develop a missile defense system that would make nuclear weapons "impotent and obsolete." His vision of a "shield that could protect us from nuclear missiles just as a roof protects a family from the rain" was both seductive and audacious. It was seductive because it offered an easy answer to the omnipresent threat of a massive Soviet nuclear attack at a time when the Soviets and the United States maintained 60,000 nuclear warheads between them. It especially appealed to those who believed in the supremacy of U.S. science and technology but did not understand technical issues. At the sa

Part #4 Bill Farley and Zrii ™As I explained in previous posts Bill Farley is committed to Zrii ™ for 3 main reasons. For instance, in Part #1, I explained how fortunate Zrii is to have a CEO like Bill Farley for his incredible billion dollar branding experience, and for all his extensive business leadership experience too.In Part #2, I explained how Bill Farley is building Zrii because he is passionate about health, wellness, fitness, and nutrition.In Part #3, I explained that Bill Farley’s second big reason to make Zrii successful is that he wants to be a mentor to help others become successful in business too.But in this 4th and final part about the speech that Bill Farley gave at a Zrii training event in Salt Lake City, Utah, you will find that he is committed to Zrii because he

Part #3 Bill Farley and Zrii ™In the previous post, Bill Farley spoke about one of the three main reasons why Bill Farley is so very passionate about Zrii and why he is committed to making sure Zrii is an incredible success. His first reason was that he is very passionate about health, wellness, fitness, and nutrition and that Bill Farley feels that Zrii is the ultimate vehicle to deliver those four things to the masses.This next part will explain his second main reason why he is so committed to Zrii - that Bill Farley loves being a mentor.For instance, Bill Farley continued his speech about Zrii and said, “Now, the other thing I used to always enjoy doing at this stage, at this stage in my career, I like coaching, I like mentoring, and I like teaching.”Bill Farley then said, “I ha

Bill Farley and Zrii ™ part 2As I mentioned in Part #1 of this 4 part series Bill Farley, said some very interesting things about Zrii in a meeting I attended in Salt Lake City and I wanted to share them to you. For instance, he told us about how very important Zrii is to him and how this is actually Farley’s most important focus. For instance, to put things in perspective, Bill Farley said that as he has reviewed his incredible past experiences like being part owner of the White Sox or owning the parent company of Fruit of the Loom that at one point employed over 55,000 people, that “it’s been a very interesting business career for me”. But Bill Farley went on to say “And what I am about to tell you I feel with total absolute confidence. This business of Zrii, and this busines

Bill Farley and Zrii ™ part 1I recently attended a Zrii meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah in February where there were about 550 Zrii Independent Executives in attendance. One of the many speakers from Zrii corporate there was none other than Bill Farley, the majority owner and CEO of Zrii LLC himself.If you have ever wondered about Bill Farley’s level of involvement with Zrii or if you’ve ever wondered how committed he is to Zrii, then I must encourage you to read on. I’ve got to tell you, that after personally meeting with Bill Farley about Zrii on 3 different occasions (in Chicago, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City), that I am very impressed.As I have mentioned in previous posts in this Zrii blog, and if you know me personally, you will know that one of the main reasons why I joined Zri

At the most basic level, your elevator speech is what you tell people about what you do. It's a short introduction to your area of expertise that's a useful tool when meeting people in social and networking situations. The length depends on the situation. If you're standing in line at the grocery story and strike up a conversation with your neighbor who asks what line of work you're in, your 3-minute version is going to sound like an annoying TV commercial. My elevator speech is about 15 seconds long, which is perfect when speaking to an individual, but when I'm introducing myself in a group setting, I will say a little more.Your elevator speech should mention your target audience and how you help them.

Unlike Obama, I'll use the whole quote. I don't know. I don't like his speeches. Maybe I'm not hip enough. Oh, and this which I'll just leave on its own except for his repeated use of the term "occupation" when the government elected by a majority of the people want us there: Obama said, “The key then becomes what’s the natur
