About me

While some pics are worth a thousand words; brevity is the secre to prose. My view continues to be "face to face" learning environments are superior to "online classes" because anyone can be jade after dark. Especially in M117 ~ Presentation Skills. The prestigious Harvard Business portal may be a little over worked as entry into Max Knowledge site is a little over engineered. It is for what is a tool meeting a market niche for those convinced they are unable/uncommitted to enhancing their presentation skills. For those out there in the cold, abstract fearful of a group hug and can't sing Kumbaya ... come to the dark side, we have cookies.

You can not not communicate

Clearly, one of the most important components is recognizing the peripheral route processing Adult Learners unwittingly employ resulting in 80% of communication problems. It is imcumbant upon the speaker to "get the mail through." Our tone of voice, our body language, and or our manner of dress oftentimes sabatoge or even abort our message. One of my chief deficits; I send a more tenor than intended. We're still working on me; a work in process. TQM would have us believe we never reach perfection; we continually strive, resulting in continuous improvement.

groupthink

As for me and my house; "Group Think" is one of the more insidious phenomena in business today. If I recall correctly (I do) it was diagnosed as the primary cause for the disaster of the Columbia flight according to NASA, resulting in the death of 7 innocent astronaughts. "Group Think" <--- not on my watch!
