I've been doing improv for over 20 years. I suggest that anyone will improve their extemporaneous speaking skills by taking an improv class. Cheers to your success.

I have had similar feedback about channeling my energy better and yes I would love to receive (email me please) any and all information you may have. I didn't know you were in Toastmasters also? Or maybe you are just the fabulous speaker that I remember from years ago! Thanks, and cheers!

My feedback on your Toastmasters sessions is that your energy and passion shine through as always. If you could just temper it a little it will give you more time to think, and your audience more time to catch up! Your elbows could do with releasing, they look as though they are bolted to your body: that way we have even more energy to fill the room! You use what Satir calls the Leveller hand gesture pretty well throughout: maybe try using other gestures, such as the Thinker (Rodin) or the Dreamer! I cansend you some stuff on this if you like. Oh, and I'm not sure you actually explained what copacetic meant, not that it mattered, as your message was much more interesting! Best Michael Hi Farnoosh

And so glad you enjoy the information age rather than shy from it into a cave of darkness. Brave and fearless, that's the way to live, right? Hey Emiel, so creative of you to use our Word of the Day!

You got me there Farnoosh. You hit the right spot! So many people are afraid of this new age of internet and information overload (I call it infobesitas). However, 2010 brings us indeed closer to a re-arrangement of the way we kind of inhale all the information coming to us. Use the new tools, they are not a threat, they are copacetic!! Thanks for sharing the video! Emiel “If we don’t take advantage of the comfort this age is giving us, it’s our own fault.” You got me there Farnoosh. You hit the right spot!

You share my same beliefs on the economy. Sure, it is "hurting," but humans have the entrepreneurial spirit and with foresight and dedication there is nothing that can stop an individual from achieving his or her dreams.
