Polish Your Grammar and Pronunciation as Part of Your Executive Image. When speaking in public, your vocal and body language, your accent, wardrobe, accessories will be viewed as if you are under a microscope. These attributes are now part of your public persona. The human tendency when viewing public figures, celebrities, or seeing someone present, is to thoroughly inspect the speaker more closely than perhaps you would during a one-to-one meeting. Do you add a syllable to Realtor and say Real-a-tor?

East Asia | CML International
http://catherinelorenz.com/tag/east-asia
It is common in East Asia to use your chopsticks to take food from a common plate or bowl. You choose your food from a platter and place small amounts on your own plate. Chinese will bring a rice bowl up to their chins and quickly scoop the rice in their mouths with their chopsticks. It is normal to slurp, talk with your mouth full and make noises, whilst eating in many countries. Watch your hosts for guidance if you are unsure.

Pilot and Maintenance Log. This humorous article has been circulating on the internet for a few years. It has been credited to both Qantas Airways and UPS. I am posting it here for your reading pleasure. Enjoy! Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one…a reassurance to those of you, who fly routinely. After every flight, pilots fill out a form, called a ‘gripe sheet,’ which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. P: Something loose in cockpit.

Speak Your Way To Success. The Lectern Is Not Your friend! Speak Your Way To Success. Many people use the words lectern and podium interchangeably. There actually is a difference. A lectern is most commonly defined as a slanted stand that serves as a support for a speaker’s notes. It often has a microphone and a light attached. Remember that the lectern often has a slanted top. Because of this, we recommend placing water on an adjacent stand or table, to avoid spilling on notes or laptop. Yes, you do fee...

Doing Business in Germany. Greetings & Introductions in Germany:. Speak Your Way To Success. They may prefer to be introduced or presented to you, rather than you introducing yourself, as we do in America. Germans are more formal there with introductions. It reminds me of finishing school or cotillion introductions. Younger or lesser ranks are introduced first, or their names are given first.

Your Pow Factor Part 2. Recently, I have seen some highly-credentialed and competent business speakers, with great topics, who were well prepared. However, I was disappointed in their presentation wrap up. They actually had no wrap up. Tossing off a quick my-time-is-up- thank-you-for-having-me to the audience, is not the best way to leave your audiences wanting more of you, wishing to hire you or motivated to buy your products or services. 1 Tie in your concluding remarks with your Hook Them Opening .
