Believe & Achieve: South Sask Toastmasters
After the break is the text of the speech I delivered to Club 13, on Tuesday, May 29.
Special thanks to Mike, a guest at the meeting who provided me a suggestion to improve the speech which I have incorporated, below.
Of course, the 32 figure I cite is the speech is now 30 29.
This is a short follow up to my August 2006 posting, Email Unto Others as Thou Wish to Be Emailed:
Here is a useful techsoup.org article on how to cut down on some of that deluge of spam: “Top 20 Ways to Prevent Spam“
“Communication is the transfer of emotion….
Our brains have two sides. The right side is emotional and musical. The left side is focused on dexterity and hard data. When you show up to give a presentation, people use both parts of their brains. They use the right side to judge the way you talk, the way you dress and your body language. Often, people come to a conclusion about your presentation by the time you’re on the second slide. After that, it’s often too late for your bullet points to do you much good.
You can wreck the communication process with lousy logic or unsupported facts, but logic is not enough. You can’t complete it without emotion.”
-Seth Godin, Free Prize Inside! The Next BIG Marketing Idea, p. 103.

Thank you Mister Toastmaster.
Fellow Toastmasters, honored guests,
I want you to get more from email and to do more with email. My aim today is three-fold:
• First, present your best self through email. This is “Email Unto Others”.
• Second, deal efficiently with the bulk of incoming messages. This is “As Thou Wish”.
• And, third, manage your inbox. This is “To Be Emailed”.
This weekend (August 5 – 7), I rationalized some procrastination, as investing time in a new resource for when I’m humorist: Jokelopedia: The Biggest, Best, Silliest, Dumbest Joke Book Ever, Second Edition, compiled by Ilana Weitzman.
