Scott Ginsberg: “How To Be That Guy”

by

How to create a personal brand that’s so UNFORGETTABLE, it actually MAGNETIZES more business to you.
Scott Ginsberg

Different people inspire us to do different things. Sometimes intentionally and sometimes accidentally.

Or else why would we expand our inner circle, widen our network horizons and continuously seek the human connection throughout our lives. In the case of Scott Ginsberg, all my encounters – thanks to our LinkedIn connection – with him have inspired me to do three very specific things in large volumes: read, write, speak, and repeat the cycle. Over and over and over again. [Read more…] about Scott Ginsberg: “How To Be That Guy”

The Power of Human Connection

Community at Blogworld

Social media has redefined the Power of Human Connection.
For those of you who live a perfectly normal life, unaffected by the deafening thunderstorm that is social media, I would describe it as a way to connect instantly with people of similar likes and interests (or complete opposites of the spectrum, you choose) anywhere in the world through online systems and applications.

That means carrying on conversations with a new friend in Egypt while answering a question to a peep in Paris and figuring out the best route to Tokyo from Narita Airport with your new best buddy in Japan. It means knowing how a marathon for a friend turned out in San Francisco and watching the streams of feedback coming out of a keynote speech live in Las Vegas in case you are missing it. It means being there to sympathize with a tragedy, to show support when needed, to pull someone through a problem and to help someone with a dilemma.

It is powerful beyond measure and it can change your life. Develop, grow and engage with your network (affiliate). [Read more…] about The Power of Human Connection

A Conversation with Fear

by

Yoga Hawaii no fear

Yesterday, I finally had a conversation with Fear.

You probably know Fear as well as I do.

It is the feeling of  insecurity and doubt that makes you uneasy all around when you least expect it.

It is the nervousness at the pit of your belly and the shake in your finger tips that is well beyond normal jitters.

It creeps in during the most momentous occasions in your life and sets out to do some damage in one way or another. [Read more…] about A Conversation with Fear

17 Effective Tips on Speech Writing and Delivery

by

Speech WritingFor the last 3 weeks, I have focused on little else other than the upcoming speech at Blogworld. It was an honor to be accepted, after submitting this video proposal. As with all things, however, after the excitement calms down and the dust settles, you are left with real work to do and in this case, I was looking at an hour-long speech to write and deliver. Even with the experience of Toastmasters (video proof!) and a few other public speaking events, the idea of writing for and speaking at Blogworld has been pushing me to break new boundaries in speech preparation.

Listening to my Readers: Launch of Blogworld ebook and the Newsletter

by

Blogworld Expo 2010 eBook

In every space, every aspect and every part of our life, it is listening – truly and intently listening — which is our greatest offering to anyone sharing our life or crossing our path. It is only through real listening that true understanding can occur.

Do you think you really know how to listen?

I know — and my family will gladly vouch for it – that I have been a ridiculously poor listener all my life — and have struggled greatly to change my habits and to learn to slow down and really listen.

Listening is the most difficult, yet simplest and most overlooked and most rewarding skill you could develop. Much as we love to hear ourselves talk, and believe me, I do, it is in the listening that we learn our greatest lessons, that we get to know our greatest friends, and that we are exposed to our greatest experience in life and among others.
