Prospering from Public Speaking There's a quote in an old Seinfeld episode where Jerry states, "According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death ... Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy." The fear is real, though; many people are absolutely terrified of speaking on a podium or into a microphone. There's even a term for it: glossophobia . In the last two months I've spoken at four different events, and received a number of invitations from event organizers for future gigs too. Go back a decade and you'd have never seen me speaking in front of a crowd. So, what changed? Well, I've learned a number of tips that helped me through that public speaking fear. The main one was having some confidence in my abilities. I used to spend all my time trying to work out what they wanted from me, and what persona to adopt on ...

This marine visitor center sounds very cool. Now we need an environmentally friendly transportation design to move people in, out and around. Rail so close is one possibility. Gondolas on the river? More pedestrian/bicycle corridors? I’ve always wanted a monorail over 17. Take the Highway 17 Express one step farther and call it the Santa Cruz Beach Special, paint it wildly. Mini cruise ships and trimarans on the bay with ports at the wharf? Talk to Mr. Beach.

by Brandon Eley of SitePoint Trubune Have you ever had one of those weeks where you had more to accomplish than you thought was humanly possible? Last week was like that for me. We had several projects that had to be completed by Friday, and it seemed like everything was working against me to achieve this. Normally, I'd have just worked late a few nights and it would have been done. Last week, as life would have it, my wife and children had several activities planned, so I was unable to work late on Monday, Tuesday, or Friday. I also had a conference call Wednesday night and a grand opening at a friend's new retail store on Thursday afternoon. So there was no working late any day last week for me.Sprinkle in the odd committee meeting, emergency email, or urgent phone call, and I was really starting to panic.

Wanted to catalog this comment: To you guys and all responsible for yesterday's Huddle: You have set a new standard. That was a spectacular show that stayed with me all evening. Many, as I, left yesterday's Huddle humming and walking with a bounce to their step. I could go on and on, but suffice to say, from beginning to end it rocked, it rolled, it hit the major topics with flair, humor and conciseness. It made me proud to be a part of company so dynamic, creative and heartfelt. No wonder we're successful. Thank you. -- Kevin Group Sales
