xjohanx Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Good speech dude! It would be better if you had shorter hair though No but seriously, if you ever come to Sweden (again) you should def speak here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pelicanAndrew Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I 2nd that man. You're a really great public speaker. Only a few umms when you were starting off, and then you're like a machine gun of information. Also, your voice sounds really really really familiar.

robert Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Thanks guys/gals. I have a lot to work on, but it's a constant progression and this is just part of one talk. I give talks every week, radio interviews every week, etc. these days as well, so each one is an opportunity to learn, become better and improve my ability to share ideas with people. I enjoy it and I look forward to speaking twice this week in Florida and throughout the rest of the year. I was on World Vegan Radio this morning and I'll be on www.kboo.fm on Wed the 22nd at 9:30AM PST if you want to listen in. It was recorded last week and will air this Wednesday. Thanks. I challenge myself to grow in whatever I'm doing and this is one of my new areas of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeB Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I have the low grade internet connection. I hope this video comes through. I caught a sliver of it and you looked very psyched Rob, as always. Your optimism is certainly contagious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Thanks. I'm really going to focus on the "ums" and filler words. Some presentations I give are great! Others I stumble a bit, and it's all part of the process of improving. Here is a question and answer segment from that same talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i39TAsQbskk I know I look skinny....it's the camera angle That same weekend I looked pumped in other photos....so I don't feel too bad, but it reminds me that I need to each much more. Anyway, I stumble through the first minute and then I get going and that is how it often is, but I'm working on removing all the fillers and "ums" and pauses that don't need to be there. A constant journey to improvement and it's a fun ride. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i39TAsQbskk&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Yeah man, I can't believe how many times I say "erm" the trouble is, if I remove them (which I do sometimes) then I just stare blankly until I think of the word I need! I don't know which is better really... maybe I need a mantra that I can repeat instead of erm, to buy me some time... here are some I recommend: "It's like my dad always said""Listen carefully to what I'm going to tell you right now""Did you ever notice that there's not really a difference between coke and pepsi? That reminds me...""Phew, is it hot in here or what? Anyway""30 years, on the job, that's a long time, on the job. 30 years, that's a long time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
