Sticky PostingsLife is a Load of Balls - Golf Balls?
The Mayonnaise Jar
![]() When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle, When 24 Hours in a day is not enough, Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar And proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students, if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.' The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.. 'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - family, children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions ? Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, Your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else --The small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, You will never have room for the things that are important to you. So... Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play With your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. 'Take care of the golf balls first -- The things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.' One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented... The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked'. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.' Please share this with other "Golf Balls" I just did...... Cowells Cowering Confidence Trick
Phineas T Cowell sorry Barnum used to say 'there's a sucker born every minute' and will ever be remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes.
Well Mr Cowell you are right up there with the other bunkum artists promoting one entertainment whilst insisting it is another. The X Factor has ceased to be a singing contest it is now a competition for ratings and the chasing of audience numbers. Beware Simon for that is the road to instant gain but long term loss. You have devalued both yourself and the programme.Have you sold out to the cash strapped ITV bosses, because you are certainly not acting in the best interests of your own contestants? You protest too much when casting aside the observation that your comments are the only ones the poor misguided participants really find relevant. Who are you kidding? Certainly not us, nor your fellow judges and I venture to suggest not even yourself. You tell us that the public must have the final vote but this is a cop out and further degrades our faith in you to be, as you have always seemed to be, honest fair and to tell it like it is. You have let us down. Be warned Mr Cowell you are turning The X Factor into 'Britain's Got the X Factor Talent'. This is a confused message that will bounce back on you. If we have one why do we need the other? It is not a proving ground for the next Ant and Dec. If you have done a deal with Mr Andrew Lloyd Webber to provide the next star for The London Theatre, I consider this to be a noble and worthy venture but BE HONEST ABOUT YOUR AGENDA. Louis Walsh's complaint that you are constantly changing the rules is ringing ever truer in our ears. On many occasions previously you have told us that the X factor is a singing contest and that the final 'sing off' is to be judged exactly by that criterion. But in the last two shows you have shirked that responsibility and have judged it on the 'pulling power' of the performer. The clue is in the words 'sing off'. This however on two occasions has not been the criteria of choice. Lloyd's voice failed him yet you still chose Rachel. Jedward can't sing yet you cast Lucie into the abyss. Mr Lloyd Webber I hope you were watching. ![]() Ignore the public outcry at your peril Mr Cowell. You have made the same error as another high profile person of his day, Gerald Ratner. In his infamous faux pas he told us that the reason he could sell his jewellery so cheaply was because it was crap. His credibility crumbled overnight because he was guilty of a cardinal sin. He let his customers know exactly what he thought of them, ignorant and gullible. My growing belief is that you are showing us exactly what you really think of us. We have always been emotionally manipulated by the back stories of the contestants, now we are being duped into believing that it is our decision that is final. It is not. I will not boycott the show nor suggest that others do so because the finalist should be given a platform for their talent. I will however, not be voting and hopefully that will damage the revenue received from the telephone calls. My only hope is that the financial implications of your lack of judgment restore your sense of fair play and bring back the true ethos of The X Factor - That it is a singing competition. Richard St. John: Secrets of success in 8 words, 3 minutes
In this time of great concern about our jobs, skills sets, business acumen and ability to withstand the rigours of the credit crunch I thought a message of encouragment would not go amiss.
What is the reason or reasons some people succeed against all odds whilst others fail (whatever that may mean). Well it appears there are 8 key reasons. One day a girl on a plane asked Richard St. John, “What really leads to success?” But even though he achieved success, he couldn’t tell her how he did it. To answer her question he spent 10 years interviewing over 500 successful people, including Martha Stewart, Richard Branson, Russell Crowe, and the Google founders. After analyzing all the data, Richard discovered the 8-Traits that lead to great success. This video explains it all and stands as a lesson for us all to learn. Richard St. John: Secrets of success in 8 words, 3 minutes Here's to great success for 2009 The Video Revolution
In these challenging times your clients and customers are becoming exceptionally sophisticated in their ‘buying’ process.
You therefore need to differentiate yourselves from your competition and offer a compelling, engaging ‘selling’ message so that your potential ‘buyers’ choose you rather than anybody else. The key to your personal, financial and companies success is in your ability to positively impact, influence and emotionally connect with your ‘audience’. You also need to monitor the effectiveness of your marketing. During the last 12 years I have sold millions of £’s worth of product for QVC The Shopping Channel, coached others to do the same and work with companies to ‘sell’ in a filmed environment. To this end I have brought together a team of TV and presentation professionals to create TV style presentations that can sit on your own website to ‘sell whilst you’re asleep’. Sounds expensive? You would be amazed how cost effective it can be. Have a look at the following links for a flavour of what we can do. http://www.virtualpictures.tv/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQr3misdwrE Technology has moved forward to such a degree that we can now film and incorporate very sophisticated tracking into the videos to enhance and monitor sales. What’s included in the package. We prepare you for the ‘TV’ presentation and coach you on how to make a powerful, engaging, natural sell with strong personal impact that creates an emotional connection. This is the secret to effective selling. We develop a powerful selling strategy and ‘scripted’ interview using ‘The 4 Cornerstone of Presentation’ process. We define encapsulated, key selling messages that are memorable and get’s people to buy. We develop the story board. We shoot the presentation/demos. We edit and load the presentation to your website. A duplication facility is available should you wish to use the DVD presentation as a direct mail campaign. We can also if needed, host the site for you and develop an e’marketing strategy. Interested? Blog us. Fear of Public Speaking
As a public speaking coach in the corporate arena and working both as a guest presenter and as the leading trainer for QVC The Shopping Channel I would like to offer my opinion as to why so may people hate talking in public.
As with most fears, they stem from our childhood and evolve from situations where we have been ridiculed or made to feel small by our parents or teachers. Speaking up in public or at work brings back those deep rooted memories and those negative voices start stripping away our confidence and prevents us from offering opinions or promoting ourselves. Indeed the word FEAR is said to mean: - False Expectation Appearing Real Actors often say that without a script or a role that they can step into they feel that at anytime they will be found out and exposed for the fraud they feel that are. Indeed, exposed is how we feel. How often do our nightmares contain images of us being partly naked? With my clients I have found that the strongest means to dispel these fears is visualisation. Not the hackneyed vision of our audience appearing naked but rather more visualising ourselves being applauded, successful, receiving accolades for our performance and running in our minds the video of our successful presentation form beginning to the end. This has both the realistic advantage of rehearsing the presentation but also silencing those destructive voices in our heads. I also use a process called E.F.T Emotional Freedom Techniques that uses 'tapping' as a means to desensitise our emotional blocks. The key to dispelling a stultifying fear of speaking in public is having a clear understanding of how we are to start our presentation, what is the content of our talk and how we are going to close with a strong 'selling' message. Over the last 12 years, I have sold millions of £'s worth of product for QVC and have developed 'selling' presentations that engage and motivate viewers to pick up the phone and order. I also train others how to communicate with power and impact to sell their wares on the Channel. From this experience of selling to an invisible audience I have developed a process called The 7 Magic keys to P.E.R.F.E.C.T. communication, an acronym that stands for: - Personal Impact Emotional Connection Right to Talk Facts Encapsulate Credibility The Company. Using this as a template for numerous presentations situations, from Business Pitches through to Wedding speeches I have enabled individuals to present without fear and with confidence in themselves and the message they want to convey. It's not about getting rid of the butterflies in our stomach but rather more getting them to fly in formation. Have a look at the video presentation of one of my seminars. No sex, porn or nakedness just business relevant fun using the 7 Keys framework and actual MAGIC - yes magic to enable the individual to recall the process. The 7 Magic keys to P.E.R.F.E.C.T. communication Saturday, June 19. 2010The Merhrabian Myth
This was recently sent to me and though the animation is excellent and the company producing it innovative. The message is debatable
Youtube Animation The Mantra for most presentation skills coaches - As a percentage of importance - Words 7%, Tonality 38%, Body Language 55% It purports to show that most communication is non verbal. This animation debunks the theory. However, arguably the reality is somewhat different, words are important, but congruency, authenticity and credibility are essential. What we say, how we say it and how we look whilst we're saying makes the difference between just giving a speech and influencing, exciting and motivating others to take action.

Dexter only has seconds to sell products so needs to get to the root of things quickly. Having been previously told to sell with benefits rather than features, I have now been told to sell on 'pain'. 'Pain', in this instance, is the issue or problem that you are resolving for the person you are trying to influence. Taking this approach affects your whole sales activity. In a meeting situation to make them really think about the 'pain' you might take them on a journey so that they personally relate to a situation when the pain might arise, this means telling a story. If your not in a meeting you might, like Dexter only have a few seconds. I am going to focus on how this knowledge has changed my 'elevator' or '30 seconds' pitch. This is when you only have a short time to get someone interested in what you are doing, for example if you get in an elevator with a key decision maker for 30 seconds what would you say? You can see how I have developed my pitch below. Version one "I work for Gateway Media, a digital media agency offering video, design and online services to leading companies in the UK. We have had great success in improving our client’s communication and marketing strategy." Notice how this is too focused on me and my business features and not on the benefits to the client. Version two "I help companies to communicate more effectively through the use of creative digital media solutions. We are currently working with some of the top names in construction, banking and the legal sector enabling them to enhance their messages through video, design and online." This makes more of an effort to specify the benefits to the client, taking the focus away from us and onto the client. Version three "I am currently working with business leaders who are having difficulty growing their business in the current economy. They are not being noticed in their markets and don't have the time or skills to tackle the problem. I don't suppose you are suffering these problems in your business? In bold are the 'pains' (problems) that we have identified and are trying to solve. These can be focused on whoever you are speaking with if you know what their problems might be. This new take on an elevator pitch removes the service offering, features and benefits altogether. The person I am speaking with does not know what services I am offering but if the problems resonate they will, in their response, give me the information I need to make an offer. If they do not have any of the 'pain' mentioned then you have saved time in finding this out up front. Remember you are not trying to offer solutions at this stage, just finding out if these issues are relevant to them. Your aim is to take the person from a place of pain to a place of pleasure. Reproduced from Young Social Entrepreneur - Simon Baker, Friday, February 19. 2010AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT![]() They say that self praise is no recommendation so here is a testimonial from a satisfied client who was having difficulty in interview situations. It might be of help to others who are having similar problems in getting the ideal job. Are you not presenting yourself effectively in interviews? Are you uncertain how to 'big up' your achievements? Are you losing out to other candidates? Do you come across as too needy or too aggressive? ![]() READ ON AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT I am an experienced Interim FD/Controller/Project Manager and was referred to Dexter Moscow last June. I had completed an interesting assignment at the end of October 2008 and expected to take a short break and get back to work in early December. I normally find that I can get another assignment within a few weeks and as clients often extend my assignments I don’t normally start seriously looking until the current assignment is over. The end of 2008 was a difficult time as the economy had fallen off a cliff. Although I am well connected with the Interim Agencies and through my own networks I had quite a few calls but nothing had turned into work. The situation became quite demoralising and I started to feel that my lack of success in finding work was starting to affect my performance in interviews and prospective phone calls. When I contacted Dexter I had an important prospect in sight and was very worried that I would fail to get short listed. Dexter worked quickly to assess my problem and helped me to change my approach in preparing the ground with the Agency, and eventually at the all important interview. He helped me to bring out my best points and turn the interview around so that I was asking questions which emphasised why they should hire me and challenging them to persuade me to come and work for them. Dexter worked quickly to coach me in this new (for me) selling proposition and I was quickly short listed; and then hired in an interview which went exactly to plan. My friends had told me that Dexter has a range of skills, including coaching “super-salesmen”. As I am a Chartered Accountant and Lawyer I had been slightly sceptical at the start as to how he could help me; but I’m pleased to report that he tailored exactly the right approach for me to secure that all important job. In Interim, as in permanent work, it is much easier to get a job if you are already in one and I am now on the third of a series of assignments that have followed one from another since last June. I would thoroughly recommend Dexter Moscow to anyone with an important interview ahead of them. David Forth FCA A good interview impresses others - A great interview moves people to hire you.

COULD YOU SELL GOD TO MILLIONS
Did you, like me, watch in awe the inauguration ceremony of President Barak Obama? Were you amazed at how 2 million Americans of many colours, creeds and backgrounds came together in the freezing Washington air to bear witness to this historic event? The Presidential address was excellent and Obamas rhetoric did not disappoint but for me the person who captured the mood and emotion of the occasion was the Reverend Dr Joseph Lowery the elderly pastor who gave the Presidential benediction. ![]() It was not only the content of his presentation that captured my imagination but also the style of his delivery. He started very haltingly but then his voice gained strength as did the power and poetry of his words. The following extract form me encapsulates the cleverness of his discourse. "….we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around... when yellow will be mellow... when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right." 2 million people then in a single joyous voice joined with him to chant Amen, Amen, Amen. How many of the countless millions watching throughout the world caught up in the moment joined with him in the Amens Also in the speech were many cleverly crafted biblical references "when tanks will be beaten into tractors" (swords in to ploughshares) and noteworthy phrases that embraced all "when every man and every woman shall sit under his or her own vine and fig tree" but in these few words of colour he painted a picture of disadvantage, discrimination and repression that had been suffered for decades. What are the lessons we can learn from this speech to 'sell' to our 'audience'? How can we introduce arguments and proposition to influence others? Unless we can capture people's hearts we cannot capture their minds. I am a lifelong student of what creates power, impact and influence in verbal and non verbal communication and have developed 'The 7 keys to P.E.R.F.E.C.T. communication', which I use to coach others to create and deliver presentations of power and impact. Reverend Dr Joseph Lowery's benediction and the way he delivered it had each and every element of the P.E.R.F.E.C.T. framework. Personal Impact - His own presence as he stood slightly stooped before the microphones Emotional Connection - How we as onlookers, separated by thousand of miles still connected to the power of his words and emotion. Right to talk - His age, his race and his creed bore testimony to his deep connection with the struggle of men and women of colour. Facts - His illustration of how the attitude to colour has been used to keep people subjugated. Encapsulate - In just a few carefully crafted words how he created a vivid picture and weaved an elaborate tapestry of persecution and discrimination. Congruency - His body language, his voice and the words he used to convey his message carried with them an honesty and passion that was totally congruent and authentic. The Company - The fact that he shared a podium with Obama, Clinton and many past Presidents reflected the respect, gravitas and esteem of others and validation of his position. This for me was the highlight of the ceremony and an object lesson of how in a few words we can convey a wealth of meaning and engagement. Whether we are in front of millions, in a board meetings or pitching to a client the power of our words, the way in which we convey them and the connection we make with our 'audience' directly relates to our business, personal and financial success. 90% of what you offer is the same as your competition. So what is that extra 10% that is the difference between winning and losing that bid? It's YOU and how you and your team connect with your prospects Dexter Moscow - download the 7 Keys to P.E.R.F.E.C.T. communication A good presenter entertains us - A great presenter moves us to take action Monday, February 16. 2009Hear The 7 Keys to Perfect Communication

Tuesday, February 26. 2008Presenting - Discussion between Michael Beale and Dexter Moscow
Dexter Moscow does what he loves best - training others to get their message across with power and impact whether in front of a camera or in front of an audience of 1 or many.
(please allow up to to 2 minutes for the MP3 file to dowload if you want listen to the discussion) Michael : Good afternoon Dexter. Dexter : Hello Michael, how are you doing? Michael : Very well, very well. Michael : Firstly let me say that I’m very grateful that you’ve agreed to take part in this podcast, I’ve heard some really good things about you and I’m very much looking forward to what you have to say. For the audiences benefit, can you introduce yourself a little bit and say just a little bit about what you do. Dexter : Yes. As you said, my name is Dexter Moscow, and I always say, that is my real name, not my stage name - because people don’t believe it. My company is AudienceDynamics and typically what I do is work with individuals who may be very technically good at what they do, but they find it difficult or challenging, getting their message across to other, and to really amuse and entertain people with power and impact, whether it be corporate or individuals. I suppose I help them present in the best possible way. Michael : Ok, leading on from that. What do you feel makes a good presentation? Dexter : A really good presentation is really like any good story. It should have a beginning a middle and an end. It should be impactful and I suppose open with a really strong message. Michael : Right. Dexter : And a strong indication of who that person is, and to end with a call to action if that’s what’s required. Michael : Ok.. If you were going to teach me or somebody else how to present well, what are some of the key things that you’d get them to do? Dexter : The first thing that I would do – because we’re led to believe that public speaking is one of the most fearful things that we will do in our lives. So I would lend from your experience, and I would ask people to visualise the positive outcome of this presentation and see people in their mind applauding and congratulating them on a fantastic presentation, and saying ‘what a wonderful message! We need to go and do something!” So not just about presenting, but really making it impactful, making people take action – so that’s the first thing I would do, if fear is an issue. Then I would suggest that they really plan, and rehearse – begin to think about what they need to say and the message that they need to convey. Michael : And what after that, they're in a good state and they know they have to plan - what else do you think is important? Dexter : Well, it’s a bit of self advertising here, but because of my years of experience working in television and also pitching people business as well I’ve developed what I call the ‘seven keys to perfect communication’ and the perfect element is an acronym that when you have those seven keys you will be successful, and I can explain that a little bit more if you wish to. Michael : Yes, please do. Dexter : Perfect, as I say is an acronym that stands for the key elements that I believe a presentation should contain. I’ll just run through them very briefly for you. P stands for Personal Impact, so that means what will we look like and how we sound when we first stand up. The second element, the first E, if you like, is Emotional Connection, when we make an emotional connection with people, we show who we are, we tell stories about ourselves – then that really creates a connection with you and your audience, whoever that audience might be. Then the R is the Right to Talk, really what we’ve done in our lives – will give us a right to talk in our subjects, or to motivate, or to explain to somebody that what we do is what we believe is right. The F stands for Facts. Because after initially we’ve made that connection with somebody, we have to give them the facts, we have to tell them what we’ve succeeded at, the bottom line figures if you like. If we’re in a business environment, what we’ve achieved in terms of percentage, various elements like that. The next E is an Encapsulation of what we do. We live in a sound-byte society, so people don’t want lots of information thrust at them. They want it packaged. So if you can encapsulate what you do in key phrases, we see it all the time, Nike has ‘Just do It’, ‘Finger Licking Good’ we see it all the time – Or Coke ‘The Real Thing’ when we encapsulate a message, and if we can make an emotional connection with that message as well, then that can be really effective. The next element of perfect is C, standing for Credibility. That could be testimonials, that could again be relating facts, but in a much more personal way. So our own personal credibility. And the last element of perfect T, which is The Company, our company, what we’ve achieved, and the companies that we’ve worked with, and the people that we’ve worked with. So once a presentation has got those elements incorporated into it – and on tv we have to convey all of that in just under thirty seconds – if you can encapsulate and incorporate all of those elements, that it a perfect presentation.
