I. Herbie's Helpful Hint (named after my Dad)
I’ve always been impressed with Harvard graduates.
So a speaker
who is a double Harvard graduate, I have really high
hopes! Smart
as he was, he didn’t know a basic speaking rule:
the microphone is your
friend. Speak close to the podium mike , , , real
close. You’re speaking
because you have something important to say, so help
the audience hear
your message.
II. Who Said It?
"Even I don’t wake up looking like Cindy Crawford?" (answer at end of newsletter)
III. Mishmash of Value:
1. Emmitt vs Mario: Which One Are You?
I admit it. I was hooked on Dancing with the Stars.
I didn’t watch the
first two seasons. One look at Emmitt Smith’s
smile and I was hooked.
The finals came down to Mario versus Emmitt. I
liked to watch Mario,
but I wanted to dance with Emmitt. I appreciated Mario’s
technical skills,
Emmitt made me smile.

2. Tyler Florence and the Foodies
I was dragged to the Cleveland Food Show. I would rather watch paint dry. So my goal was to look for something to learn from this afternoon in a different land, with a different language and customs that I don’t know. Each hour a different celebrity chef gave a cooking lesson. We were lucky enough to be allowed in – Studio 54 style—to see Tyler Florence, food network chef extraordinaire. In his cutting edge kitchen he had a line of lemons. Even I know a chef would rarely use a dozen lemons in one dish. So what was up with the lemons? Every few minutes he threw one into the audience to keep the audience engaged.

4. My Favorite Holiday Fact
My December newsletter cant be complete without repeating my favorite Santa fact. Santa, our American Santa, is FAT. Although he doesn’t have to worry about cholesterol or a hart attack, there is a lesson to be learned. We like our Santa fat; it is part of Santa’s strengths.
Lesson Learned:
IV. Case Study: The Movie The Pursuit of Happyness
Situation:
Will Smith stars in this real life story. Almost homeless and a single dad, he applies for a job. He is shirtless at the interview.
Response:
When asked about not wearing a shirt, he implemented a phenomenal communicatin strategy. He said, they must have been one heck of a pair of pants.
Lesson Learned:
Embrace the objection. Whatever it is. You don’t have enough experience, you are too young, too old, too expensive, too cheap. Embrace the objection.and you will continue the communication rather than put an end to it.
