In this raw, reflective, and empowering episode, Quinn opens up about the emotional terrain of fear—how it creeps in post-divorce, shows up in our relationships, careers, and even in the state of the world. They share deeply personal moments of walking into the unknown: moving during COVID, raising six kids alone, and heading back to school to become a nurse.With wisdom from Pema Chödrön, Stoic philosophers, and Gavin de Becker's The Gift of Fear, Quinn unpacks the crucial difference between fear that saves your life and fear that steals it. You'll learn how to identify healthy vs. unhealthy fear, work with your body's intuition, and use simple yet powerful tools like the Stoic Pause and the "So What?" drill to regain clarity and take action—even when you're afraid.You'll hear about:Quinn's journey to school, single parenting, and starting overThe two kinds of fear women are facing in 2025Fear as a signal vs. fear as a storyWhy the mind prefers the familiar—and how that sabotages your growthWhat healthy fear feels like in the bodyTools to sit with fear, question it, and move forward anywayWhy women often mistake fear for wisdomAnd the mantra that could change everything:“Fear is just information. It's not instruction.”Quotables:"Courage isn't about being fearless. It's about acting with discernment—despite the fear."“You don't need to kill the fear. You just need to stop letting it drive.”“Is this a sacred warning—or just a dusty-ass lie?”Resources Mentioned:The Gift of Fear by Gavin de BeckerPema Chödrön's quote: “Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.”Stoic philosophy on perception and responsePostDivorceGlowUp.comEmail: quinn@postdivorceglowup.com

Life back above 7000 was short-lived, with an initial rally for the ASX200 faded throughout the day. The local bourse closed flat at 6974. IT stocks had a good day - especially stocks of a more speculative nature. Telecommunications, REITs and utilities also pushed higher. The drag on the market primarily came from the iron ore miners and energy stocks - the latter falling after a larger than expected build in US Crude Inventories drove oil prices back into the low $90 range. Consumer staples also lagged. As far as the high flyers go - Tyro Payments jumped 17%, PointsBet rose 12%, and Imugene rallied 8.7%. Punter favourite Zip Co. gave up a big early gain to close 3% lower. Orica shares flopped following the announcement of its raise to fund the acquisition of Axis Mining Technology.

Got a question for the trio? - https://zfrmz.com/uLtjhyBskV96PY6eJfaIhttps://propertyplanning.com.au/propertyplannerbuyerprofessor/In this week's episode Dave, Cate and Pete take you through:Market updates1. The 20 most unaffordable cities in the worldPete shares with our listeners a report that states Adelaide and Brisbane are more unaffordable than New York. How can that be? The devil is in the detail when it comes to how affordability is calculated, which in this case, did not take into account interest rates and repayments. The trio discuss how reports can be skewed by the methodology used and the angle that the journalist is instructed to pursue. The trio point out that the debt-to-income ratio is a commonly used measure, however it is fundamentally flawed because interest rate (and cost of servicing the debt) is not always taken into account. They all concur that debt to repayment ratio is a more prudent measure to follow when assessing affordability.2. Number of sales shows long-term trend of declineContinuing on the data theme, Dave shares sales data which indicates that 2021 had the highest number of sales on record with 650,000 property sales recorded. However, upon further examination, this made up just 6% of all properties in Australia. In 2003, although there was a lower volume of sales recorded, the sales for the year accounted for 7.8% of all properties in Australia. The population has been growing since, but the number of people selling has been declining and reached as low as 3.7% in 2018 and 2019, before being bumped up in 2021. This is another reminder that if there are less properties being sold, relative to the total number of properties and population growth, supply is reduced and prices will go up.3. Underquoting - but what are we going to do about it?Cate shares her weekend auction experience, where the agent price guide was set at $800,000-$880,000 and the property sold (as Cate expected), at $1.351M. This was a clear case where the agent underquoted the property despite recent sales supporting a likely selling figure closer to the actual result than the documented quote range suggested. Underquoting reforms are being considered by Victorian Consumer Affairs, and everybody has an opportunity to submit their thoughts.U to Z of Property SuccessU – Unconditional: what does it mean for offers, contracts and mortgage applications?The trio discuss unconditional contracts, when is it appropriate to add conditions and share their hot tips on how to manage the vendor in the event of looming deadlines that are likely to be missed. Dave takes our listeners through the necessary steps before a lender will unconditionally approve a loan application.V – Valuations: how can you get the best outcome?The trio discuss the difference between valuations conducted by a licensed valuer, appraisals conducted by real estate agents and lender valuations arranged as part of the finance approval process. Listen in for the trio's expert insights on how to prepare for a valuation in order to get the best results. For further education on valuations, listen to episode #17 “Valuations 101”.W – Waiver: cooling off periodWhen purchasing a property, the most common right waived by purchasers is the right to a cooling off period. Buyers who are purchasing interstate, beware! Legislation on cooling off differs from state to state and in many states, cooling off does not apply for auctions. For further insights on cooling off periods, listen to episode #132 “Purchasing laws in each state – Part 1”.X – eXtra Careful: when to slow down and take the time to avoid critical mistakesCate takes our listeners through what they should be extra careful about when reading a contract and the other paperwork associated with buying a property. The key is to have an understanding of what you're on the hook for.

There are two improvisations on each system, the first two on a vintage 100 and the second two on a cloned 200 There are some significant differences in sound between the two eras, most noticeably the tone of the VCOs and the filters. I would describe the earlier VCOs as being richer, fuller and brighter than the 200 series but not as stable, and the filters being more edgy and pure in nature. The 200 system introduced the LPGs, timbre-shaping and the Spectral Processor, all of which give the system a very distinctive sound that was absent from the 100Personally, I like the overall tone of the 100 series very much, as it has a power and richness that puts it in the same league as other early systems such as the Moog Modular and the ARP 2500. I am not sure if there is a similar power in the original 200 series modules (as opposed to modern cloned ones) as I have never been able to compare them directly, but my guess would be that various filters, VCOs and other things that Don began to introduce in the 1970s took the sound away from the more basic and simple sound of the 100, exploring and pioneering other avenues as he went towards fully digital systems in the 1980s. It is a fascinating progression, and one that is mirrored in the development of synthesisers in general between the 1960s and 1980s, as digital technology gradually took overThe systems used were as follows:Buchla 100 Vintage Modules:102 Dual Stereo Locator106 Six Channel Mixer110 Dual Gate111 Dual Ring Modulator112 Touch Control123 Sequencer130 Dual Envelope Detector140 Timing Pulse Generator144 Dual Square Wave Generator156 CV Processor x 3158 Dual Sine/Saw x 2160 White Noise Generator165 Random Voltage Source175 Dual Line Driver / EQ180 Dual Attack Generator x 2185 Frequency Shifter190 Dual Reverberator191 Sharp Cutoff Filter194 Bandpass FilterCloned Modules:110 Dual Gate144 Dual Square Wave Generator x 3146 Sequencer180 Dual Attack Generator205 Dual Matrix MixerBuchla 200Cloned Modules:205 Dual Matrix Mixer208 Stored Program Sound Source212 Dodeca Module218 Touch Control224 Patchbay248 MARF + Expander256 Dual CV Adder257 Dual CV Processor258 Dual Oscillator x 2259 Complex Waveform Generator261e Complex Waveform Generator266 Source of Uncertainty275 Dual EQ / Reverb277 Signal Delay281 Quad Function Generator x 2285 Frequency Shifter292 Quad LPG296 Spectral Processormyblogitsfullofstars.blogspot.com zackdagoba.bandcamp.com instagram.com/memetunestudio
Burnout is your body’s message to you, alerting you to something that you have been overlooking for a long time. Listen in to learn about how the invisible wall is a hint that your old stories and goals might be outdated, and how grief plays a role in it all even if you don’t think it does. Shanna is an Industrial Psychologist and Leadership & Health Expert. She helps leaders feel better and perform better. She hit the invisible wall of burnout six years ago, which led to her to redefine success and health for herself. Now she helps others do the same by focusing on integrative health of the body, mind, and spirit.Quotes to remember: “There is an invisible wall that people hit, whether it starts with a health event… or starting to get negative feedback.”“I realized, I haven’t updated my dreams in a while.” “When we are under threat, we’re looking to confirm what we already know.” “To deny our grief, to deny our pain, our sadness… it has a way of finding us.” Takeaways:We are constantly reshaping and reforming who we areSometimes our goals are outdatedIt’s difficult to admit that parts of your work aren’t working anymoreGo to your opposite to develop yourselfOur old stories served as at one point and may not serve you nowDeep breathing is such a powerful tool because it calms the nervous systemThere is a lot of unspoken grieving now with the pandemic which we may not have considered grievingCall it what it is when it comes to how you feel and your emotional state; the label will empower youEvents need to be felt, processed, then understood; then healing occursThe grief will always catch up with you one day; incomplete grief becomes chronic griefThere is no amount of achievement, recognition, or wealth that will treat your unfelt griefEvery abandoned child will subconsciously feel as though it is their faultWhat you’ll learn:What to do when we are rewarded for high achievement yet it is detrimental to our healthAbout Shanna’s wake-up call 6 years ago to listen to her bodyHow she redefined health and wellness for herself when her body hit a wall three times overThe steps to letting the old go and accepting the newWhat to do to get in touch with yourself if you’re an anxious high achieverHow to end your emotional hijacking and become able to separate perceived threat from real threatHow Shanna grieved the loss of both her parents, her significant other, and her dogMentioned on the podcast: https://drshanna.com/The Artist’s Way - Julia CameronNatalie GoldbergLinks:FacebookInstagram

On behalf of the Chinese government and people, and in my own name, let me express my warmest congratulations on the opening of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations and extend a very warm welcome to you all.当前,世界多极化、经济全球化、文化多样化、社会信息化深入发展,人类社会充满希望。同时,国际形势的不稳定性不确定性更加突出,人类面临的全球性挑战更加严峻,需要世界各国齐心协力、共同应对。The world today is moving towards multi-polarity and becoming more economically globalized, culturally diverse,and IT-driven. All this offers hope to humanity. In contrast, however, instability and uncertainties are mounting, and the global challenges faced by humanity are ever more daunting, calling for joint responses from allcountries.应对共同挑战、迈向美好未来,既需要经济科技力量,也需要文化文明力量。亚洲文明对话大会,为促进亚洲及世界各国文明开展平等对话、交流互鉴、相互启迪提供了一个新的平台。To meet our common challenges and create a better future for all, we look to culture and civilization to play their roles, which are as important as the roles played by the economy, and by science and technology.The Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations is for this very purpose, as it provides a new platform for civilizations in Asia and beyond to engage indialogue and exchanges on an equal footing and facilitate mutual learning.女士们、先生们、朋友们!Ladies and gentlemen,Friends,亚洲是人类最早的定居地之一,也是人类文明的重要发祥地。亚洲地大物博、山河秀美,在世界三分之一的陆地上居住着全球三分之二的人口,47个国家、1000多个民族星罗棋布。从公元前数千年起,生活在底格里斯河-幼发拉底河、印度河-恒河、黄河-长江等流域的人们,开始耕耘灌溉、铸器造皿、建设家园。一代又一代亚洲先民历经岁月洗礼,把生产生活实践镌刻成悠久历史、积淀成深厚文明。广袤富饶的平原,碧波荡漾的水乡,辽阔壮美的草原,浩瀚无垠的沙漠,奔腾不息的江海,巍峨挺拔的山脉,承载和滋润了多彩的亚洲文明。Asia is home to one of the earliest human settlements and a major cradle of human civilization. This vast and beautiful continent covers a third of the Earth's land mass and has two-thirds of the world population. It has more than 1,000 ethnic groups living in 47 countries. For several thousand years before the Common Era, our forefathers living alongthe Tigris and the Euphrates, the Indus and the Ganges, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, tilled and irrigated the land, made tools and utensils, and built homes to live in. Generation after generation, our ancestors in Asia, with their tireless endeavors, created a time-honored history and profound andrich civilizations. Our vast and fertile plains, beautiful river basins, broad steppes, immense deserts, mighty rivers and oceans, and lofty mountains have nourished and enriched diverse and colorful civilizations across Asia.在数千年发展历程中,亚洲人民创造了辉煌的文明成果。《诗经》、《论语》、《塔木德》、《一千零一夜》、《梨俱吠陀》、《源氏物语》等名篇经典,楔形文字、地图、玻璃、阿拉伯数字、造纸术、印刷术等发明创造,长城、麦加大清真寺、泰姬陵、吴哥窟等恢宏建筑……都是人类文明的宝贵财富。各种文明在这片土地上交相辉映,谱写了亚洲文明发展史诗。In building our civilizations over thecourse of several millennia, we the people of Asia have achieved great splendor. I think of literary classics such as the Book of Songs, The Analectsof Confucius, the Talmud, One Thousand and One Nights', The Rigveda and TheTale of Genji; of inventions such as the cuneiform script, maps, glass, Arabic numerals, and papermaking and printing techniques; and of majestic structures like thegreat Wall, the Great Mosque of Mecca, the Taj Mahal, and Angkor Wat. They all form part of the invaluable heritage of human civilization. Through interactions on this continent. Asian civilizations have enriched each otherand written an epic of development.亚洲先人们早就开始了文明交流互鉴。丝绸之路、茶叶之路、香料之路等古老商路,助推丝绸、茶叶、陶瓷、香料、绘画雕塑等风靡亚洲各国,记录着亚洲先人们交往交流、互通有无的文明对话。现在,“一带一路”、“两廊一圈”、“欧亚经济联盟”等拓展了文明交流互鉴的途径,各国在科技、教育、文化、卫生、民间交往等领域的合作蓬勃开展,亚洲文明也在自身内部及同世界文明的交流互鉴中发展壮大。Our forefathers in Asia have long engaged in inter-civilization exchanges and mutual learning. The ancient trade routes,notably the Silk Road, the Tea Road and the Spice Road, brought silk, tea, porcelain, spices, paintings and sculpture to all corners of Asia, and witnessed inter-civilization dialogue in the form of trade and cultural interflow. Today, the Belt and Road Initiative, together with the Two Corridors and One Belt, the Eurasian Economic Union and other initiatives, has greatly expanded inter-civilization exchanges and mutual learning, Cooperation among nations inscience and technology, education, culture, health and people-to-people exchangesis thriving as never before Thanks to exchanges and mutual learning betweeneach other and with other civilizations in the world, Asian civilizations have grown from strength to strength.璀璨的亚洲文明,为世界文明发展史书写了浓墨重彩的篇章,人类文明因亚洲而更加绚烂多姿。从宗教到哲学、从道德到法律、从文学到绘画、从戏剧到音乐、从城市到乡村,亚洲形成了覆盖广泛的世俗礼仪、写下了传承千年的不朽巨著、留下了精湛深邃的艺术瑰宝、形成了种类多样的制度成果,为世界提供了丰富的文明选择。The great Asian civilizations have aspecial place in the annals of world civilization, and they have added to the diversity of human civilization. Think of what Asia stands to offer in terms of religion, philosophy, code of ethics, law, literature, painting, drama, music, and even the building of towns and villages. They speak volumes for Asia's proud achievements extensive systems of social customs, immortal classics that have endured for millennia, the fine pool of exquisite art, and diverse institutions, among others. All these offer rich choices for civilizations theworld over to draw on.回顾历史、展望世界,我们应该增强文明自信,在先辈们铸就的光辉成就的基础上,坚持同世界其他文明交流互鉴,努力续写亚洲文明新辉煌。As we review our past and look beyond Asia,we should have greater confidence in our civilizations. We may build on the rich heritage of our forefathers, stay engaged with other civilizations, and increase mutual learning. By doing so, we will add new glory to Asian civilizations.女士们、先生们、朋友们!Ladies and gentlemen,Friends,亚洲各国山水相连、人文相亲,有着相似的历史境遇、相同的梦想追求。面向未来,我们应该把握大势、顺应潮流,努力把亚洲人民对美好生活的向往变成现实。We Asian countries are closely connected and share a natural bond of affinity. We have passed through similar historical trials, and we cherish the same dreams for the future. Going forward, we needto see where the world is heading, ride the trends of the times, and turn our people's longing for a better life into reality.——亚洲人民期待一个和平安宁的亚洲。维护和平是每个国家都应该肩负起来的责任。没有和平,冲突不断甚至战火纷飞,经济增长、民生改善、社会稳定、人民往来等都会沦为空谈。亚洲各国人民希望远离恐惧,实现安居乐业、普遍安全,希望各国互尊互信、和睦相处,广泛开展跨国界、跨时空、跨文明的交往活动,共同维护比金子还珍贵的和平时光。We Asian people hope to see peace andstability across Asia. Upholding peace is the responsibility of every country. When peace is interrupted by conflict or war, economic growth, decent lives, social stability and people-to-people exchanges will fall by the wayside. We the people of Asian countries wish to live and work in contentment and security, free from fear. We hope that all countries will respect and trust each other, livein harmony, and interact with each other in a manner that transcends national boundaries, time and space, as well as the differences between civilizations. We should work together to safeguard peace, something that is far more precious than gold.——亚洲人民期待一个共同繁荣的亚洲。经济发展是文明存续的有力支撑,繁荣富强是国家进步的重要基石。亚洲一些民众特别是妇女儿童正忍受着贫困、饥饿、疾病的折磨,这样的局面必须改变。亚洲各国人民希望远离贫困、富足安康,希望各国合力推进开放、包容、普惠、平衡、共赢的经济全球化,共同消除一些国家民众依然面临的贫穷落后,共同为孩子们创造衣食无忧的生活,让幸福和欢乐走进每一个家庭。We Asian people hope to see common prosperity in Asia. Economic growth sustains a civilization, and prosperity underpins the progress of a nation. In some parts of Asia, people - women and childrenin particular- are still suffering from poverty, hunger, and disease. This mustchange. We Asian people long for a decent life free of poverty. We hope that countries will work together to promote economic globalization and make it moreopen, inclusive, balanced, and beneficial to all. This will enable us to eradicate the poverty and backwardness that still plague people in some countries. It will enable our children to live a carefree life and bring happiness to allfamilies.——亚洲人民期待一个开放融通的亚洲。亚洲近几十年快速发展,一条十分重要的经验就是敞开大门,主动融入世界经济发展潮流。如果各国重新回到一个个自我封闭的孤岛,人类文明就将因老死不相往来而丧失生机活力。亚洲各国人民希望远离封闭、融会通达,希望各国秉持开放精神,推进政策沟通、设施联通、贸易畅通、资金融通、民心相通,共同构建亚洲命运共同体、人类命运共同体。We Asian people hope to see an open and better-connected Asia. Asia's rapid development over the past decades showsthat it is important to open our doors to the outside world and ride the trend ofglobal economic development. If countries choose to close their doors and hide behind them, world civilizations will be cut off from each other and lose allvitality. We Asian people hope that all countries will reject self-imposedisolation, embrace integration, uphold opening up, and promote policy,infrastructure, trade, financial and people-to-people connectivity. This way, we can jointly foster a community of shared future for both Asians and all humanity.女士们、先生们、朋友们!Ladies and gentlemen,Friends,文明因多样而交流,因交流而互鉴,因互鉴而发展。我们要加强世界上不同国家、不同民族、不同文化的交流互鉴,夯实共建亚洲命运共同体、人类命运共同体的人文基础。为此,我愿提出4点主张。Diversity spurs interaction amongcivilizations, which in turn promotes mutual learning and further development.We need to promote exchanges and mutual learning among countries, nations andcultures around the world, and strengthen popular support for a community ofshared future for both Asia and humanity as a whole. To that end, I believe itis imperative that we take the following actions:第一,坚持相互尊重、平等相待。每一种文明都扎根于自己的生存土壤,凝聚着一个国家、一个民族的非凡智慧和精神追求,都有自己存在的价值。人类只有肤色语言之别,文明只有姹紫嫣红之别,但绝无高低优劣之分。认为自己的人种和文明高人一等,执意改造甚至取代其他文明,在认识上是愚蠢的,在做法上是灾难性的!如果人类文明变得只有一个色调、一个模式了,那这个世界就太单调了,也太无趣了!我们应该秉持平等和尊重,摒弃傲慢和偏见,加深对自身文明和其他文明差异性的认知,推动不同文明交流对话、和谐共生。First, we need to respect each other andtreat each other as equals. All civilizations are rooted in their unique cultural environment. Each embodies the wisdom and vision of a country ornation, and each is valuable for being unique itself. Civilizations vary from each other only as human beings differ in terms of skin color and the language used. No civilization is superior to others. It is foolhardy to think that one's own race and civilization are superior and to insist on remolding or replacing other civilizations. To act these out will only have catastrophic consequences.If world civilizations are reduced to one single color or one single model, theworld will become monolithic and a dull place to live. What we need is torespect each other as equals and say no to hubris and prejudice. We need adeeper understanding of the differences between our own civilizations and others, and we must work to promote interaction, dialogue and harmony among civilizations.我访问过世界上许多地方,最吸引我的就是韵味不同的文明,如中亚的古城撒马尔罕、埃及的卢克索神庙、新加坡的圣淘沙、泰国的曼谷玉佛寺、希腊的雅典卫城等。中国愿同各国开展亚洲文化遗产保护行动,为更好传承文明提供必要支撑。In the many places I have visited around the world, what fascinates me most is civilizations in their rich diversity. I cannot but think of the Central Asian city of Samarkand, the Luxor Temple in Egypt Sentosa in Singapore, Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok, and the Acropolis in Athens, to mention just a few. China is ready to work with other countries toprotect Asian cultural heritage and better preserve and sustain our civilizations.第二,坚持美人之美、美美与共。每一种文明都是美的结晶,都彰显着创造之美。一切美好的事物都是相通的。人们对美好事物的向往,是任何力量都无法阻挡的!各种文明本没有冲突,只是要有欣赏所有文明之美的眼睛。我们既要让本国文明充满勃勃生机,又要为他国文明发展创造条件,让世界文明百花园群芳竞艳。Second, we need to uphold the beauty ofeach civilization the diversity of civilizations around the world. Each civilization is crystallization of human creation, and each is beautiful in its own way. An aspiration for all that is beautiful is common to all humanity, andnothing can hold it back. Civilizations do not have to clash with each other; what is needed is to see the beauty in all civilizations with eyes. We should keep our own civilizations dynamic and create conditions or other civilizations to flourish. Together we can make the garden of world civilizations more colorful and vibrant.文明之美集中体现在哲学、社会科学等经典著作和文学、音乐、影视剧等文艺作品之中。现在,大量外国优秀文化产品进入中国,许多中国优秀文化产品走向世界。中国愿同有关国家一道,实施亚洲经典著作互译计划和亚洲影视交流合作计划,帮助人们加深对彼此文化的理解和欣赏,为展示和传播文明之美打造交流互鉴平台。The beauty of a civilization finds concrete expression in the classic works of philosophy and social sciences and works ofliterature, music, film and TV drama. Now, a large number of outstanding cultural works from other countries are being brought into China, and a lot of fine Chinese cultural products are being introduced to other countries. China is happy to launch initiatives with other countries to translate Asian classics both from and into Chinese and to promote film and TV exchanges and cooperationin Asia. This will help people in Asia better understand and appreciate each other's cultures and build a platform of exchanges and mutual learning for the best of Asian civilizations to spread and be better known to the world.第三,坚持开放包容、互学互鉴。一切生命有机体都需要新陈代谢,否则生命就会停止。文明也是一样,如果长期自我封闭,必将走向衰落。交流互鉴是文明发展的本质要求。只有同其他文明交流互鉴、取长补短,才能保持旺盛生命活力。文明交流互鉴应该是对等的、平等的,应该是多元的、多向的,而不应该是强制的、强迫的,不应该是单一的、单向的。我们应该以海纳百川的宽广胸怀打破文化交往的壁垒,以兼收并蓄的态度汲取其他文明的养分,促进亚洲文明在交流互鉴中共同前进。Third, we need to stay open and inclusive and draw on each other's strengths. All living organisms must renew themselvesthrough metabolism; otherwise. life would come to an end. The same is true forcivilizations. Long-term self-imposed isolation will cause a civilization todecline, while exchanges and mutual learning will sustain it. A civilization can flourish only through exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations. Such exchanges and mutual learning should be reciprocal,equal-footed, diverse, and multidimensional; they should not be coercive,imposed, one-dimensional, or one-way. We need to be broad-minded and strive to remove all barriers to cultural exchanges. We need to be inclusive and always seek nourishment from other civilizations to promote the common development of Asian civilizations through exchanges and mutual learning.人是文明交流互鉴最好的载体。深化人文交流互鉴是消除隔阂和误解、促进民心相知相通的重要途径。这些年来,中国同各国一道,在教育、文化、体育、卫生等领域搭建了众多合作平台,开辟了广泛合作渠道。中国愿同各国加强青少年、民间团体、地方、媒体等各界交流,打造智库交流合作网络,创新合作模式,推动各种形式的合作走深走实,为推动文明交流互鉴创造条件。People are the best bridge for exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. Increased people-to-people exchanges and mutual learning, for that matter, are a sure way to eliminate estrangement and misunderstanding and to promote mutual understanding among nations. Overthe years, in collaboration with other countries, China has established many platforms and channels for cooperation in education, culture, sports, health, and other fields. China will work other countries to step up exchanges among youths, NGOs, with subnational entities, and media organizations, to create a network of exchanges and cooperation between think tanks, to explore new models of cooperation, and to deliver more solid outcomes in diverse forms. Such efforts will boost exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.第四,坚持与时俱进、创新发展。文明永续发展,既需要薪火相传、代代守护,更需要顺时应势、推陈出新。世界文明历史揭示了一个规律:任何一种文明都要与时偕行,不断吸纳时代精华。我们应该用创新增添文明发展动力、激活文明进步的源头活水,不断创造出跨越时空、富有永恒魅力的文明成果。Fourth, we need to advance with the timesand explore new ground. To sustain a civilization, it must be kept vibrant andbuilt on its heritage from one generation to the next. More importantly, acivilization needs to adapt itself to the changing times and break new ground.The history of world civilizations tells us that every civilization needs toadvance with the times and take in the best of its age in order to progress. We need to come up with new ideas to add impetus and inspiration to ourcivilizations. Through these efforts we will deliver achievements for ourcivilizations to transcend time and space and endure.激发人们创新创造活力,最直接的方法莫过于走入不同文明,发现别人的优长,启发自己的思维。2018年,中国国内居民出境超过1.6亿人次,入境游客超过1.4亿人次,这是促进中外文明交流互鉴的重要力量。中国愿同各国实施亚洲旅游促进计划,为促进亚洲经济发展、增进亚洲人民友谊贡献更大力量。To spur people's innovation and creativity, the best way is to come into contact with different civilizations, see thestrengths of others, and draw upon them. Last year, Chinese tourists made over 160 million overseas trips, and more than 140 million foreign tourists visited China. These visits played an important role in promoting exchanges andmutual learning between China and the rest of the world. In this connection, China will work with other countries to implement a plan to promote tourism in Asia. This will further boost economic development in Asia and deepen friendship among the Asian people.女士们、先生们、朋友们!Ladies and gentlemenFriends,中华文明是亚洲文明的重要组成部分。自古以来,中华文明在继承创新中不断发展,在应时处变中不断升华,积淀着中华民族最深沉的精神追求,是中华民族生生不息、发展壮大的丰厚滋养。中国的造纸术、火药、印刷术、指南针、天文历法、哲学思想、民本理念等在世界上影响深远,有力推动了人类文明发展进程。As an inseparable part of Asian civilization, Chinese civilization, since its early days, has evolved and grown by drawing on its past achievements, exploring new ground, and adapting to changes. This represents a profound aspiration of the Chinese nation and provides a rich source of strength for its lasting development. Chinese inventions such as papermaking, gunpowder, printing and the compass, as well as China's astronomical knowledge, calendar system, philosophy and people-centered doctrine have all had a global impact and propelled the development of human civilization.中华文明是在同其他文明不断交流互鉴中形成的开放体系。从历史上的佛教东传、“伊儒会通”,到近代以来的“西学东渐”、新文化运动、马克思主义和社会主义思想传入中国,再到改革开放以来全方位对外开放,中华文明始终在兼收并蓄中历久弥新。亲仁善邻、协和万邦是中华文明一贯的处世之道,惠民利民、安民富民是中华文明鲜明的价值导向,革故鼎新、与时俱进是中华文明永恒的精神气质,道法自然、天人合一是中华文明内在的生存理念。Chinese civilization, as an inclusive and integrated whole, has become what it is today through constant interactions with other civilizations. It has been enriched by the introduction of Buddhism and the confluence of Islam and Confucianism in the old days, and by theintroduction of Western learning, the launch of the New Culture Movement, and theintroduction of Marxism and socialism in modern times. All-round opening up of the country, starting with the reform and opening-up program, has added to itsvitality today. For Chinese civilization, pursuing amity, good neighborliness and harmony is the principle guiding our interactions with other countries. To bring prosperity and security to the people is the overarching goal, to keep pace with the times through reform and innovation the abiding commitment, and to achieve harmony between man and nature the underlying philosophy.今日之中国,不仅是中国之中国,而且是亚洲之中国、世界之中国。未来之中国,必将以更加开放的姿态拥抱世界、以更有活力的文明成就贡献世界。China today is more than the countryitself; it is very much a part of Asia and the world. In times to come, China will open its arms wider to embrace the world and contribute the dynamic achievements of Chinese civilization to a better world.女士们、先生们、朋友们!Ladies and gentlemen,Friends,这次亚洲文明对话大会议题广泛、内容丰富,希望大家集思广益、畅所欲言,提出真知灼见,共同创造亚洲文明和世界文明的美好未来!The Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizationsh as a wide-ranging agenda, and I look forward to your keen perspectives and insights.By bringing our minds together, we will create an even better tomorrow forcivilizations in Asia and beyond.最后,预祝亚洲文明对话大会圆满成功!谢谢大家。To conclude, I wish this conference everysuccess.Thank you.

Do you believe that you can build your dream team, one that cares as much about your business as you do?And that maybe just maybe you can hire people who do the things that you think you do best, better than you? It's been a goal of mine for several years to build my dream team. You know the type of high-performing, high trust team that will help me on my aim to build a million dollar revenue business by the end of 2023.Yet the biggest mindset shift for me to do this, has been to get out of the way, and relinquish control, surrender to trusting people I bring into my business and their skills.I'm pretty sure I'm not the only entrepreneur who struggles with letting go, and handing your baby over!The other thing you need to know, before you start hiring team members, is your best return on investment and your superpowers. Ask yourself:What do I do best, that only I can do?What can I give up and delegate?What needs to change in order to scale?Do I need these people in-house or can I outsource I've been hiring people since 2012 and I can tell you, it's been a journey. I've had over 40 contractors and freelancers in that time, perhaps more. Sometimes I've hired the best people, and sometimes I've made big mistakes - hiring too fast, and failing to fire fast too. But I'm always learning the lesson, improving my processes, on-boarding, systems and communications. And this year, I'm really being more intentional with how I go about building my dream team. So I'm sharing it ALL on this podcast episode, and letting you in on my thoughts for how you can go about building your dream team, without the drama and headaches, and instead, from a place of certainty and flow.In This Episode You’ll Learn:Why you need to start with focusing on the goals of the businessWhich tasks you can delegate first to find your feet in handing overThe power of using a Dream Team chart to fill your gapsWho should ideally hire first, and where to find your teamPodcast Resources and Links:Download my free Four Lists to Freedom to work out what you can delegate firstCheck out Upwork for access to 1 Million plus talented freelancersWriting a book?

Join your host Kimberly Landeen as she goes overThe genesis of how this podcast was formed.What you can expect from the episodes.How you can get involved.Dear Community Members,I am so excited to begin this journey with you! As you will hear more about in this week’s episode; I feel a deep sense of duty to make more accessible the stories of our Facebook community with all the tools and testimonies they contain. With very little background in Podcasting but with a conviction in the stories that needed to be shared, I have moved forward with faith. Please be patent with me as we work out the kinks and the technical side of things. I feel like there is so many imperfections and things that need to be reworked, I could take another month to complete them. However, I feel like it is more important to begin sharing stories than it is to make sure things are perfect before we launch. My prayer is that as we begin this journey together that your faith in God will be strengthened and you will find strength in the stories to get through the bumps of this life. With a deep love for you and our community, Kimberly Landeen

Episode 34 - Events that Grow your Business with Candice TulsieramIn this day and age, there are SO many people doing what you do, so how do you stand out? By creating a Signature Event that elevates your brand! The energy at a live event cannot be captured any other way. Live events are a great way to help you stand out in the crowd. The Big PictureBe sure to set clear goals on what you wish to achieve from your event. Think about the purpose, is it an anniversary or a product launch? How would you like your guests to feel about your event? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so it's okay to take ideas from events that you have attended and loved and add in your own unique flair. EngagementWe live in an age of engagement, and everyone wants to be part of something. Attendees expect that you know them already, so anticipate their needs and build them into the event programming. Look for ways to make it fun and engaging, creative signage, networking exercises and breaks between speakers are great ways to nurture attendees. Be unique and think outside the box. When it's overThe job doesn't end when the doors close. Be sure that you do not miss the opportunity to build on the momentum after your event. Sign vendors, speakers and/or sponsors up for the next year. Be sure to survey your attendees during and/or after your event. The comments and suggestions you receive from them are pure gold! A word about marketingPrior to your event, be sure to create as much buzz as possible through IG and FB posts, leverage others involved to spread the word on their social media as well. Create unique hashtags that will get the attention of your desired audience, and engage influencers and get everyone talking! Also, print copy is a great way to spread the word, see if you can write an article for a relevant magazine or newsletter. On the day of the event Put processes in place to capture real-time testimonials that can be used to market future events. Get on social media during the event and post pictures or video of how it's going so far. Your audience, who is not in attendance, will see what they are missing, all while still feeling involved in a small way. You will capitalize on their fear of missing out, and likely won't miss your next event! Best advice – just get started! You won't know how things will work out if you don't try, so don't let your fears hold you back!

Decisions, decisions... Life holds a lot of options and it's often hard to know which way to go, especially when it comes to serious, life-changing matters. Thankfully, we've got help. St. Ignatius of Loyola penned his famous Spiritual Exercises to enable people to discern the spirits - discern God's will for their lives. And the great thing is that's it's not pie-in-the-sky. It's super practical and down-to-earth. In fact, understanding his Exercises can save you a lot of headache and heartache. So join me and one of the most intelligent and holy priests I know, Fr. Aaron Pidel, SJ, for an in-depth discussion of St. Ignatius and his guide for our lives. We're covering: A bit of the (wild and wooly) background of St. IgnatiusHis massive conversionAn overview of the famous Spiritual ExercisesHow Ignatius allows feelings to come into play without them taking overThe massive role of consolations and desolationsPractical discernment of God's will Given my love of spiritual theology, this is an episode that is extremely close to my heart. I know you're going to get a lot out of it. God bless! Matthew P.S. I make a BIG announcement at the beginning of the podcast. Here's a little teaser... It's coming!

Podcast: Future proof yourself and why it really mattersIn this video: 00:29 – Watching Brett McFall’s video showing social trends 01:01 – How debt and baby boomers are affecting the economy 01:45 – Baby boomers now retiring – less people paying taxes 02:16 – Sources of employment are drying up – A.I and Automation are taking over 03:18 – Retirements funds are not big enough to live on for the majority 04:09 – You cannot stop or change what’s going to happen 04:30 – How Forex trading can help to future proof yourself 05:10 – Start small and learn “how” to trade 05:30 – The amount you can earn is not directly related to how many hours you work 06:20 – Get away from the x hours work for x payment mentalityIt's time to future-proof yourself, and invest in your own education. Let's talk about that and more, right now.Hi, Forex traders. Andrew Mitchem here, The Forex Trading Coach. Today is Friday, the 15th of July. I wanted to talk about why you need to invest in yourself, and why you need to future-proof yourself.Watching Brett McFall’s video showing social trendsYou see, I've been watching a video by a guy over in Australia, called Brett McFall. I've been following Brett for many years, probably ten, twelve years, or so. He's released a video that shows some very interesting, but also, some very worrying social trends that are out there. He lists three main concerns that people need to understand, be aware of, and also, you need to have a plan in place, so that these trends don't affect you too much.How debt and baby boomers are affecting the economyThe first thing he talks about is these three dangerous trends. The first dangerous trend is how debt and baby boomers are affecting the economy. It's a really interesting thing. He's talking about Australia, but this same principle can be applied to most of the western world. He's talking about how debt is strangling the economy in all countries, as a result of interest repayments, and this can be personal repayments, right through to government repayments. The amount of money being wasted on interest repayments severely affects the lack of infrastructure that can be built, because everybody's getting into more and more debt.Baby boomers now retiring – less people paying taxesYou add on top of that, the number of baby boomers that are now retiring. You're getting all these people who have been earning money, coming out of the work place. Now they're getting to an age where they're going to start to take money, in terms of health and retirement funds, etc. There's a real issue there, because now there's less people paying taxes, but more people taking or needing those tax payments. That becomes the first social worrying trend.Sources of employment are drying up – A.I and Automation are taking overThe second one is that sources of employment are severely drying up. You look around the world, the amount of automation, the amount of artificial intelligence that's happening. It's a really exciting thing, and we can really benefit. You can take advantage of this artificial intelligence and automation that's going on, to help run a business better, to save time, save cost, countries all around the world, etc. All that is fantastic, but as an employee, it can be quite dangerous, because artificial intelligence is going to take away so many jobs in careers that right now, traditionally, have been very good and safe careers. This is not quite in place, yet, but it's something that's coming. As artificial intelligence becomes a higher reliability, it's something that could create a lot more unemployment. You add that to the first scenario, and you're now getting even more people without jobs, which means there's even less people paying taxes.
PhantomTroublemaker, Beth, and Chad J. Shonk discuss Marvel’s MerryMutants – the X-Men! Overthe years the corner of the Marvel Universe that was not occupied bythe Avengers has been a place of almost constant change. Evolution,one might say. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby started the adventures of theoriginal team of outcast teenagers back in 1963 and the moniker“X-Men” has included many different teams and characters sincethen. Thepopularity of the mutants was such that Hollywood made them one ofthe first success stories of the comic book movie boom. We’ve beengetting movies with “X” in the title since 200, with wildlyvarying degrees of quality but almost universal success. The newestentry – X-Men:Apocalypse– comes out today and looks to be one of the most divisive entriesso far! Listenin as Beth, Chad, and Phantom discuss the evolution of theirindividual X-Men fandom and the success – or lack thereof – ofthe various movie adaptations!

THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Episode 48: THE Leadership Japan Series - Introducing How to Make Your Presentations High Impact Greg: Konnichiwa and welcome to Episode 48 of THE Leadership Japan podcast. I am your host in Tokyo, Dr. Greg Story, president of Dale Carnegie Training Japan, and much more importantly, you are a student of leadership, highly motivated to be the best in your business field. If you would like your own access to 102 years of the accumulated wisdom of Dale Carnegie training through free white-papers, guidebooks, reports, training videos, blogs, course information plus much more then go to japan.dalecarnegie.com. Today, we are going to explore how to make your presentations high impact presentations. This is a course introduction on how to have more persuasive, more impressive presentation skills. (Music) Greg: Thank you for coming to our preview of High Impact Presentations. We will be taking you through how the program works and you get a chance to practice. So this won't be just sitting there thinking about it, you'll actually have a chance to do it so we can demonstrate how this works. Today we are going to look at some examples of high impact. This is not just a presentations course. We have presentation courses which are a little bit shorter in nature, just a one day activity called `basic' for people who are beginning. This is High Impact for people who want to have real capacity to be persuasive. That might be a one on one capacity. It might be like this, one to a small group. It could be one, two or three to a large group. What you learn in this particular course is how to deal with every single level of complexity. That's very very important. The objectives. Overthe two days program, we take 12 people so it's very intense because it's so much coaching. There's so much coaching involved. With 12 people it's a very good number. The course - how to plan and structure your presentation. We do many varieties of presentations so you learn the full scope of what you need to know. And how to begin a presentation with a very positive impression and how to keep that. Your first impression and your last impression are really important. You know yourself; your first impression of something tends to be very strong and it's very hard to unwind that. So with presenting you've got to get that right. And also the last thing you say tends to be what people remember. And the final impression is what they tend to remember, so you've got to get that right too. And how to be natural and relaxed. At Dale Carnegie, we don't teach acting. This is not Shakespeare. You don't have to be somebody else like Steve Jobs or Barack Obama or whoever it might be. No. The critical thing is you are you. You be yourself. Be your natural self, but be skilled as your natural self. So what you already are-perfect. You don't need to be anybody else-you have your own style. But be skilled in your own style. And clarity around the ideas. Sometimes, particularly in complex cases where there is a lot of information, the audience can't follow. Your explanation might be too long and you can't quite get to the point. We teach how to get to the point. And also with force so the people will follow what you say. If you don't have that energy and passion when you say it, people don't tend to go with it. Let me give you an example. If I started my presentation today, like this. How would this be? (Quietly) Hi. It's great to be here today. I'm the president of Dale Carnegie Japan. We're a fantastic training organization. No force. But listen to what I said. “Hi, it's great to be here today. I'm the president of Dale Carnegie Japan and we're a fantastic training organization.” The words are great, but there's no force so you don't buy the message. You don't buy the message at all. So we are going to learn how to communicate and create some force so people buy that message. And how to sell ideas and inspire other people. This is very interesting. They did a survey in America of 200 vice presidents of very large American companies. What do you think about the presentations that you listen to in business? Only 3% thought they were stimulating. 40% say,“it makes me feel sleepy”. Who here in Japan has ever been to a Japanese presentation that you felt sleepy? Go on. Everyone put up your hands. Of course you have, right? That's always the case, especially after noon. It's a killer in Japan. And then 44% said they're boring. So if you think about it, 97% of people aren't doing a particularly good job. So by learning some fundamental skills, and practicing, you can be in this elite group,very, very simply. But you have got to put in the work. What it says to you - hey not many people are good at this. I could stand out just by improving my skills. I could be much better than 97% of the population. Think about your own business that you are in now. How hard is it to be better than 97% of the other businesses that you are competing with now? That's pretty tough to be 97% better. But you personally, you could be. You could definitely be better. 97% better than everyone else, through this course. I gave you a little example before where what I said and the way I said it didn't work. We call it incongruent. Things didn't line up. What I said, the words, and the way I said it did not match. When that happens, a study by Albert Radin, at UCLA found that people don't listen to what you say. People don't listen to the words. Only 7% of the actual words get heard. They're making up their feeling about your presentation by looking at how you're dressed, how you look, and the other thing it said was by your voice tone and style of speech. But, when you make a presentation, all of you when you prepare a presentation, I'm sure you put a lot of effort into the content. Would that be right? Do you worry about the content? Yes, of course you do. You want to make sure that the content is right. So what do you do? You probably spend a lot of time on PowerPoint or time in preparation, in content writing. Most people spend 99% of their time on PowerPoint and 1% on preparation of delivering the PowerPoint. That's the problem. PowerPoint is not the presentation. You are the presentation. And you need to practice, so, when things don't work here we go for what we see. So when I did that little demonstration before and I said, “It's great to be here. I'm Greg Story, president of Dale Carnegie Japan. We're a fantastic training company.” If I put those words on the board, you'd say ok, right, I get the message 100%. But you didn't get that message at all. You got no power, no eye contact; voice is weak, looking down. You got all of those messages so it killed the message. Now here is the point. Even if you do fantastic preparation and you get the best PowerPoint in the world, if you get up there and you don't deliver it in the right way, with enthusiasm, energy, then people won't go for the message. They'll go for you and conclude - not very good, because you are not energized or interesting. They just forget you and think boring. That is why you are in that 97%. You're not working. So this is something we need to look at. So this is the question: What is the message? What do you think is the message? (Student) Body language. Greg: Body language, yes. That's definitely one of them. What else do you think is the message? It's not a trick question. But I hope that you have the answer. You are the message. And this is very important because the PowerPoint is not the message. The handouts are not the message. Actually, you are the message. Now we have to understand that. You are the message. So, what you do becomes absolutely critical to making this work. We're going to practice a little bit of a presentation in a minute. But this structure, for example, is just one of the structures we teach. We have many different structures. I'll talk about those in a minute, but just to give you an example of one. Where we're looking for persuasion power. You need to design how you're going to open the speech. Now opening the speech either in Japanese or in English does not really involve saying,“Thank you very much…Thank you for inviting me…I'm really pleased to be here…my name is Dr. Greg Story…I'm the president of Dale Carnegie Japan….” That is not an opening. That is definitely not an opening. Yes it's one type of opening, but a very weak opening. And everybody does it. So it doesn't stand out. No power. No power at all. So what you want is something that is both cleverly designed, lots of power, and then you're giving points, key points. But those key points have to be backed up with evidence so that people will believe the point. So point, evidence, point, evidence. Then, go into your close. Again, final impressions are very important. The close, we break it up in this particular case into an action benefit statement. “There for everyone, I recommend that you take the point of the presentation with you and if you do, you will become a much more persuasive speaker. See, action benefit, that type of thing. Particularly in business, this is very powerful because you are able to get people to come onboard. Now, if you do it the other way, and this comes up sometimes Japanese audiences say well, I heard that you know for western culture you guys get straight down to business and give the action benefit at the front. First tell people what the conclusion is. Yes, in some cases that is true. But if you want to be successful as a communicator, that's not the way to go. Because as soon as you get into this you start getting push-back because there is no context, no background. You're giving the answerand immediately people are thinking all the reasons why that's wrong, why they should reject your idea. So if you're clever, you go into an opening, you provide some context, then go into the close which is action-benefit. What we recommend is what you call the magic formula, where it's like this - 90% of the time is providing the context, and 5% is providing the action benefit at the end. The beauty of this magic formula system is that you cannot argue with my context, because it's my context. You can argue with my conclusion about the context, but you can't argue the context. So you're going to hear the context, the background of why I'm recommending something first, without being able to challenge it. You can't challenge that. When I get to this part, you can challenge that recommendation, you can challenge this part. But if we do it round the other way, people tend to reject what you are saying because they don't accept your recommendation and then when you try to get to explain the context, their minds are already closed off. You see how this works? This is just one example of how we teach people to be more effective at communication by switching the roles. I'll give you an example. Say we're at a company meeting so we're thinking about marketing, budget, what we're going to spend on marketing. And we've got some issues on how much money we have to spend. An example and I'll be very brief. “I was talking to Mark, who is based in New York and he was telling me that their experience was when they allocated this amount of money in their marketing budget to buy ad-words with Google and Yahoo - prominent ad-word sites, they found that there was a tremendous take-out in leads being generated by that. They also found that the wording had to be very carefully decided on, which ad-words they selected. But the upshot was that by investing a certain amount of money, the return they got was 3 to 4 to 5 times the normal reaction that they got previously. So therefore my recommendation is that we should also allocate similar monies for ad-words, and if we do we are also liable to get 4 or 5 times lead generation.” So when I talk about Mark, when I talk about his experience in New York and what happened, you can't argue with that. You can't say that didn't happen. Or Mark wasn't there, Mark didn't say that. You can't argue with that. When I get down here where I say, “Let's do what they did”, maybe you can argue with that but you already heard me out and then I give my recommendation. So as an example of the magic formula to convince people, this is one of the examples that we use. Now as I said, this is a two-day intensive program. It's coming up in August. It's a Tuesday and a Wednesday, runs from 9 to 6. On day one, we come out creating that first impression. We're going to practice that today, all of us. We're going to practice creating a positive first impression in a little bit. In the second session we look at how to be more credible when you present. Because, like I was before, this has no credibility, no body language, no power, voice is weak, looking down. Lacks credibility. You're not going to follow my recommendations. So how to speak with credibility. And how to present complex information. This is very important. Sometimes it's not a simple subject. We have to give very detailed, difficult information. But how to do that in a way that people can easily absorb it. That's not so simple, but we teach that. So, for example, first impressions. We try and work on that first positive impression, get that right. And you've got to think about yourself as a presenter. What is your benchmark, what is your standard for that? What are your objectives for the training? So we've got two days of training and in the beginning you set some objectives for yourself. How to build up a rapport with your audience. And then also create a vision for yourself so you've got a pathway. So the training is set up - what's the standard that I want? What is the particular objective that I want out of this? And what is my vision for where I will be in six months to twelve months' time? So you can work towards that vision. So you do all that in the first session. The second session is on increasing creditability. So the second session, how to communicate with increased creditability and so forth. How to present a positive image of our organization. How to project enthusiasm. Enthusiasm it's catching, it's contagious. If you've got energy and enthusiasm, people are more likely to follow you and believe you. And competency with confidence in your communication. And then how to bring in evidence. You make a statement, I might doubt it. But if you make a statement with evidence, I'm more likely to follow you and believe you. We need to work out how to do that in a way that's very effective. And then presenting complex information. So we need some flexibility in making complex material simple. So you've got to think differently. Particularly experts are very aware of the content. They're used to talking to other experts, but when they're talking to non-experts, sometimes you can't follow them. So you've got to understand how to make it understandable to others, even though it's very complex. We've got techniques for doing that. And then make it interesting. Make it interesting. It doesn't have to be boring. You've got to find ways to make even complicated information exciting. And then find the level of your audience and pitch your presentation at that right level. Logical progression through the presentation, and then try to make some emotional contact. You'd think in a dry formal presentation that wouldn't be important. But it's important because we are emotional creatures. Justify with logic, but we're emotional. So you're trying to develop emotional contact with your audience so they'll believe you, or they will follow you. We'll do that with a whole series of activities that we have today. So day two, we work on how to have great impact. So this is a real stretch session. It'll take you right out of any comfort zone to have a bigger range of possibilities when you present. You'll come out of this session really confident, really confident. Your realm of possibilities will become much larger when you do this session. Very exciting session, my favorite session. And then how to motivate others to action. If you're a leader, or if you're in sales, or if you want to get cooperation from your team members or your subordinates then you've got to get them motivated to come with you. How do you do that? You can't just yell at them, “Be motivated!”. That doesn't work. You have gotto find out how to get their motivation, how to get them excited to adopt your policy, to adopt your idea, to cooperate with you, to buy your product, whatever it might be. We're talking about presentation skills here. As I said it could be one to one, it could be one to a smaller group or it could be one to many. All of these things are important. Then, when you have a pressure situation, particularly when you get into things like questions and answers. When you're presenting, you're in control. You're good. As soon as you get to Q&A, you're no longer in control. Right? The questioners are in control. Unless you know what you're doing. We teach you how to know what to do. So you never, ever get into a situation where you feel, I'm out of control here. Or, I'm embarrassed. Or, I feel under attack or stress and pressure. We fix that for you. And this might even be simple; it doesn't have to be a big audience. This could be at a typical meeting. I've been in companies where there is a lot of rivalry between different divisions: sales and marketing; IT and everybody. You get these different groups and sometimes you get into the meeting and people are using questions as knives. It's not really for the information. They are trying to embarrass the person. They are trying to make a political point. They are trying to score points, as we say in English. That's the reality of some people's use, particularly of Q&A. Or it could be inside the company, it could be a wider audience. But how we respond to that shows a lot about our professionalism. And this is the most high pressure. We put you through some really high pressure stuff here. So you'd come out much stronger. When you come out of that you say no problem. It's like an athlete will over-train for the event. Will they run 26 miles for a marathon, some 42 odd kilometers for a marathon? No, they run hundreds of kilometers for a marathon, right? They over-train. Same thing here. We over-train so that when you get into a situation and someone attacks you through a question, you don't fall apart, or look embarrassed, or try to escape. You look very professional, very calm, very confident, and you answer the question beautifully. And everyone goes, wow, I'm glad that guy didn't ask me that question. They look at you and say, geez I wish I could do that. That's what we do here. How to inspire people to embrace change. If you are leading your organization, no matter how small a group and you want an improved outcome. Now I don't know, in your company are they happy with last year's results? Or do they want a higher result this year? A better result or a higher result is two things. Either you do something new or you do something you've done before but you do it in a slightly different way. Otherwise same thing, same way, we get the same result. So better or improved or higher means new or slightly different. Either of those things is a change. And people are resistant to change. They're in their comfort zone, they're comfortable. They don't want to step out of their comfort zone. They don't want to embrace change. But you need to get the better results. You've got to get people to come with you to embrace change. How do you do that? This is how you do that. We'll talk about that. In that particular section we're going to increase our flexibility by use of expression, gestures, voice modulation, speed, effort. With Japanese people that's a bit tricky because you're speaking in Japanese style - it's a very flat language. When I first came to Japan, I went to Jochi University and started learning Japanese and the sensei said, no no no no. Not up and down. Flat, flat. Because as a foreigner, I would be saying (Japanese phrases) up and down right. He said, no, no. Flat,flat. So when you're speaking Japanese, because it's a rather monotone, flat language, we've got to teach you how to inject speed, and take speed out. Teach you how to inject power and take power out. To have the variation. In many other tonal languages like English, we can add the tones, up and down. You can still get a lot of variety in Japanese, but you've got to practice that. Sometimes you have to get up and deliver material that's not created by you. Suddenly someone says, oh you've got to present this. Oh my god, I have? How do you own that material? We teach you in those sort of situations too. And sometimes you have to read the material. We of course, would say, you never read material. But sometimes you have to read things. You might be representing your boss. It might be a particular document that for legal reasonshas to be exactly as it is written. How to do that in a way that's interesting. We can teach that. Also, things that might stop you from being flexible. We deal with those. So that's that section. And the section on motivating others to action. This section here. We look for motivating others to action. How do we get results? How do we persuade an audience to take action? How do we provide evidence that's credible? How to be motivational and brief, clear, and be convincing. And that's what we are going to cover in that part of the session. So we are talking about inspiring people to embrace change. The content for that one will be both logic and emotion. We buy on emotion and we justify with logic. That's how the world works. We buy on emotion and we justify with logic. It's the same. You buy the message emotionally, and you justify it with logic. Same thing. So were going to teach you how to have both working for you. You get plenty of structure, plenty of presentation, detail, evidence. That's all great. But if you don't have a way of appealing to the audience, it doesn't work. And then that structure makes it easy for the audience to follow. Be convincing. Again, how to provide that strong evidence and also offer solutions that show your objective. You might offer them three ways of doing something and recommend one of them. And then people feel, oh I'm getting a choice of things as opposed to a directive. And responding to pressure situations. This is difficult. How to keep calm when your audience is rather hostile. Someone's attacking you. How do you keep calm? We teach that. How to have very positive clear messages. Strategic ideas - how to sell those. Big picture ideas. And again you've got to be competent, confident. And how to handle a stressful situation with good communication. For impact you want three things: good structure; content that's got good evidence in it; interesting, but also delivery. If you've only got a logical structure but the evidence is weak, it doesn't have impact. If you have really good content, but the structure is all over the place, I can't logically follow where we are going with this. I get lost. It doesn't work. If you've got really good structure and its content is really great but your personal delivery isn't good, that's not going to have impact either. So you see, you need all three. And these require practice. Often people will get, maybe the structure is ok, content might be ok, but this is often the weak point – the delivery. It doesn't match. And again, everyone spends all their time on PowerPoint and no time on practice. They wonder why they have a problem. As I said before, this part here is the presentation. Your face is the presentation. That is the presentation. Not the PowerPoint. The PowerPoint should be secondary to what we're doing. We have to be the one. So firstly, things that are defining our influence. How we look. How we look is very important. How you stand. How you're dressed. That's one thing. And how we communicate with people. They judge us by how we look. We do this don't we. We meet someone. We can see their clothing. We can't see inside their hearts. We can see their clothing, we can't see inside their minds. So we make a judgment about how their face looks. How they're dressed, the color combination or something. We make all these judgments. Then communication style is another one. Our attitude and self-control. So how do you come across? Do you come across as a confident professional someone who's a bit shy and not really sure of themselves and worried about how you look. And your attitude and self-control is under pressure. You look professional all the time. And then how we relate to people. This again, first impression. How we are dealing with an audience. And then finally this, the combination of your professional competence. If you want to be seen as a professional, these are the sorts of things that we need to be looking at. We are going to do some coaching in a minute. Let me talk a little bit about that. Now, if you imagine a golf coach, the golf coach is teaching someone how to swing. After the person has taken a swing, they don't say you should have done this or you should have done that. Next time do this. It's too late. What does the golf coach do? While you are taking the swing, the golf coach is saying,“Left should down. Drive on the back leg, drive on the back leg.” Peppering you with corrections so you can make the adjustment while you are doing the swing. That's how we coach. So when you are up here presenting, and you will be up here presenting in a minute, we're not saying to you after you've done it, oh you should have done this and you should have done that. While you are doing it we'll give you some correction so you can fix it while you're up there. So you get instant change. As I said before, getting people to change is not so easy. People don't want to change because they like their comfort zone. It's very active the coaching. Innovation, it's helping to stretch you. It'll challenge you of course. And we ask you to be accountable for your own progress too. Hold you accountable for what you are doing. Well also model the outcomes. First impressions, let's think about that. This is coming back to the objective that I dealt before – first impressions. This is what we are going to work on now. We're all going to work on this – how to set up your first impression. How you want to come across to people. We'll work mainly on this part, just now. We're just take one little section of the training and try it.
