William Lee, left, and Rick Patrick, right, of the performance group, “Talking Stick” (Photo: Helena Kibicka)When we prepare for a public speech, we focus on our speaking: the words, the sounds, the phrases...and work hard to get everything "just so". But when we get up in front of people and actually begin speaking, we discover that...we have a body! And people are looking at IT instead of our carefully made words! Sounds, words, and phrases are fine for books, but public speaking is VISUAL. What do we do with our body so we don't look like a fool in front of all those people?
Tim Wilson, Distinguished Toastmaster and finalist in Toastmasters District 30 evaluation contest, is aware of these issues. "I have seen a lot of people get up and give their speeches over the years," says Tim. "And the one thing I have noticed again and again is people not using their body effectively while speaking. There are three types of body movements to keep in mind while speaking: Action movements, Interconnection movements, and Mental movements. Each of these three types of movements has a different purpose. Action movements help us tell a story, Interconnection movements help us relate to our audience...and get our audience to relate to us. Mental movements help the audience "get inside our head" and understand where our speech is going."
Tim's DVD "Moving With Purpose: The Speakers' Workout Video" ( http://www.geocities.com/wilsontctc/MWP/MWP_flyer.pdf ), is designed to target these three speaking areas and make anyone a more effective, interesting speaker. His DVD can be purchased at every Extreme Toastmasters meeting or you can contact Tim at wilsontctc@yahoo.com to make alternate purchasing arrangements.

On April 9th, I will have completed my 100 Day Challenge.
My First 100 days of the Year 2008.
For the most part, I have kept this to myself and
wondered what results I would get.
Shockingly, I found that I could have done better!

Audience? Credibility or Position? or Delivery?
Would MLK's "I Have a Dream" be as good a speech if it was delivered by Bob Jones, middle class white guy, to a small group of people in Minnesota?
George Bush has the Position, and the built in Audience, but does his Delivery diminish his impact? Was Clinton's great Delivery hindered by his failing Credibility in the wake of Lewinsky?

From www.RichHopkins.net -
Perspective, Passion & Persistence are the guiding forces to creating a life of joy and authentic success. From his childhood days as Dickie Jr. to his present-day role as a husband, and father of six, Rich continues to live life with a steadfast, never-say-die attitude.
In 1983, doctors told Rich that by thirty he'd be in a wheelchair if he didn't slow down and prepare for a life behind a desk. Determined to live on his own terms, he almost proved the doctors right. At 37, after a full life of sports, outside sales, and speaking, Rich woke up unable to walk. Undeterred, on April 25, 2006, he underwent elective amputation below the left knee, and is back on his feet sharing his message of determination and hope with the world.
Rich has experienced tremendous successes and overcome crushing setbacks. Drawing from all areas of his life to share how to recognize and avoid the pitfalls we all come across, he also motivates audiences to see the success we've all experienced, but often are unable to acknowledge and celebrate.
Rich brings humor, insight, and inspiration to his audiences, whether he is speaking on personal motivation and goal setting, the intricacies of sales and customer service, self-promotion and marketing, family dynamics, or coaching speakers of every type.
"Your message on leadership was inspirational to all of us in attendance. I have already noticed an effective change in attitude to actually "lead" those they supervise and not just manage. I am personally integrating the ideas you taught to build a better working environment for all of us! Thanks again!" - Roger Rife, VP/Regional Operations Manager, Countrywide Home Loans

Hello,
My name is Mike Charton. January will be my sixteenth anniversary in Toastmasters. I am a writer with my first book coming out in the Summer of 2007. It is about Sherlock Holmes nemesis, Professor Moriarty from Moriarty's point of view.
The blog is http://www.holmesvsmoriarty.blogspot.com I have a guestbook people can sign and I can keep them abreast of publication.
I am also working to build a speaking career. I have several topics can speak about.
What I want to teach people
is keeping your cool and knowing how much you have to lose if you do lose your
cool.
I am working on a basic book about public speaking with a co author. Eventually there will be a sequel, specifically for writers.

Much has been said about teamwork, the need for working in concert, taking risks as a team, and developing a certain magic that comes from surprises.
We can only hope to have as much fun...
