June 10


with Jon Schwartz, a.k.a. Vinny Verelli
Jon SchwartzYou tell stories in your presentations about your stern father, wise grandmother, bawdy aunt or clueless ex-boss. But what if you illustrated the character of their personality through your voice tone, accent, facial expression and/or body language? It would make your presentation much more powerful and the point of the story more memorable.

If you don’t incorporate memorable characters into your stories, you’re missing an opportunity to make a stronger impact on your audience. The more you can do to bring your stories to life the better chance you have of making a difference.

Jon is a master at characterization. His most memorable character is Vinny Verelli, The Goomba Guru of Negativity Management(R). Why does Vinny stand out? For one thing, he’s quite a character, literally one of dozens created by Jon.

You will learn:

  • simple tools that you can start using immediately, to add a new dimension to your presentations
  • tips on how to do accents and dialects
  • why less is more and the importance of doing nothing
  • how to explore character development on your own with tools and resources to help you
  • how to avoid common performance pitfalls

 MS Australia is encouraging children to have fun reading to change the lives of Australians living with multiple sclerosis (MS) by taking part in the annual MS Readathon. Each working day five people are diagnosed with MS, a disease that affects the body’s central nervous system producing symptoms such as blurred vision, loss of balance, pins and needles and speech difficulties. With no known cause or cure for MS, this annual event has become one of the largest fundraisers for MS Australia. Each year the MS Readathon inspires children to help people living with MS by collecting sponsorship from family and friends for the books they read in the month of June. Participants who complete receive a Certificate and reading rewards. How you can help…We can send you a Reader Leader pack containing registration forms and posters to help you encourage children to race to register. Please call the State/Territory office on 1300 677 323 to order your pack today. Register yourself or someone you know today via our website www.msreadathon.org.au.

 Pick-your-own mentor programs help new employees move ahead.

Scott Allison, 41, knows the value of mentors for recruiting, retaining, developing and motivating his 44 employees. "Every time we've done an employee survey, mentorship has popped up as an interest and a need," says the president and CEO of San Francisco-based national independent communications firm Allison & Partners.

Allison's appreciation for mentoring dates to the early days of the 4-year-old company. Back then, however, the firm didn't have enough resources to establish a formal mentoring program; there weren't enough senior people to supply mentors to everyone who was interested. Allison decided to allow for informal mentoring, where employees got to choose their own mentors. That method, he figured, made the most of the mentoring resources he had. The approach worked well enough that today, even though Allison has enough senior employees to designate mentors, he still uses the voluntary program.

I'm writing because I can't tell you to take part in Mark Joyner's "Word of Mouth Transformation!" experience.

Why not?

Because I haven't seen it yet. No one has.

What I can tell you is that I, myself, will be registeringfor it the moment the clock strikes 8PM on the east coast:

http://www.simpleology.com/p/womt/bronwynr/

Why will I be doing this myself?

1. I just got off a live webcast Mark did where 1,800 peoplefrom around the world (including some from Turkey, Iran, China,and India!) listened to him teach some of the basics of his newWord of Mouth technology.
If it's a 10th as good as I think it will be it will be a bargain.

2. Registration is only going to be open for a short time. Ifyou miss out you miss out.

3. I recommend you register, just to hold your seat, and then decide later.

Get this - they have put up a full 1 year refund policy.

That means you could do the whole training and get a refund at the end if you wanted it.

Or, you could register, then cancel a day later if you decide it's not for you.
So, I don't know if this will be right for you (it sure will forme), but what I *do* know is this:

If you don't register, you probably won't ever get the chance to do so again - ever.

So, do yourself a favor and register as soon as the doors open. Reserve your virtual "seat" on this roller coaster ride, and then decide later.

Presentation Nerves Part I

There seems to be hundreds of theories and opinions about nerves in relation to making a presentation. Possibly one of the more famous sayings is that it is okay to have butterflies, as long as they are flying in the same formation. Other people say presentation nerves are built-in anti-complacency buttons, ensuring that we are always on edge and performing to our best.
