5 Bullet Tuesday: How To Influence People You Don’t Know?

Hi All, Here’s your weekly dose of “5-Bullet Tuesday”, list of things I’m enjoying or pondering. Viral post I loved: This is a hilarious video of how Obama shook hands with a security guard outside 10 Downing Street, while the host country's own President grandly ignored the guard. Imagine the way 15 seconds episode influenced the people all through the world. The point is that as you go higher up in the organizational hierarchy, how you behave with any person creates a perception about you with everyone else. https://youtu.be/hG0gm2QBtDY Quote I'm pondering -

How to improve your impromptu speech sessions

Today, I came across an old video of mine. This is about 2 years old. Now the funny thing about old photos or videos is that no matter how much you hated the way you looked or spoke back then, when you watch them after a few years you simply love them. It brings smiles and laughs and you are taken back in time which you cherish. In this video, I was telling small children how to speak when given any topic. I had myself forgotten all this information, but after watching it I felt that I did talk sense. I am learning from my own self about the tricks. Especially, I liked

How To Prepare a Script For A Speech?

As someone who has delivered short speeches for Toastmasters to full day workshops, I have come to realize this trick mostly through my experience. The most critical part of preparing the content is same regardless of whether it is a 5-7 minutes speech or a 2 hour presentation or even a full day workshop. I'll come to what that is, but let me first tell you what it isn't. It's not researching the content. As a matter of fact, we can get into an endless research trap which is to be avoided.

How to Use Your Brain To Your Advantage?

I had given this speech as part of my Toastmasters project. Had titled it 2 States, which is a famous Bollywood movie starring Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor. However, this speech had got nothing to do with the movie or the border between states. Instead, it was about something far more important - Our brains. That's that beautiful instrument which we are meant to use for our entire life, but unfortunately hardly does anyone ever teach us about how to use it properly, isn't it? Hopefully this video will have some answers. https://youtu.be/19Qx9U857FM Brain always swin
