2-Minute Tip: Create a Presence Live everyday to create a presence that has presence when you're not present. As a speaker, in order for your message to have impact, it has to be something that sticks with your audience when you are not there. You can do that by being a powerful, memorable speaker. But that's not the only way. Give clear guidance. Develop a simple, compelling message. Make sure your audience knows what you want them to do. Tell great stories. All these techniques that we regularly talk about help you maintain that presence with the audience even when you're on your way to your next meeting. Post Tip Discussion As I recorded this conversation with Richard, a few things really jumped out at me. Richard has an eye for the picture in life -- for prioritizing what will really make a difference for people. He also has a tremendous talent for putting structure to his thoughts. He makes a lot of points by breaking them out into simple lists that get to the core of the matter. I counted at least 5 of those lists in this episode. From a technical standpoint, these are not just lists. They are excellent examples of parallel structure -- using similar words and phrases almost rhythmically to land a point. I talked about this technique way back in episode 10. A few weeks ago, you heard from Joe Apfelbaum in episode 103. He also excels at using parallel structure.

Richard Kaufman has had a fascinating life. At various points he has been... An addict Homeless In the Army Wounded in a Humvee A retail salesperson A survivor of an ocular stroke Podcaster He talks about these assorted adventures this week as he shares lessons he's learned from life. An ocular stroke is similar to the brain stroke we are all too familiar with. Basically a clot cuts off the blood supply to the retina or optic nerve and cells die. Partial blindness is often the result. Things we can do to reduce the risk of an ocular stroke are the same things we do to reduce our risk of a brain stroke. Control cholesterol and blood pressure. Manage blood sugar. Live a heart healthy lifestyle. And get checked for glaucoma.
