Les Brown - Unlock Your Greatness

This is the second time I add a Talk by Les Brown, not counting my interview with him. It is nearly one and a half hours long but very worth watching. My dear friend and mentor is STILL the best in the world. I first became aware of this giant in the inspirational personal development arena about 30 years ago and told myself if anybody was going to personally teach me to speak, it would be Les Brown or nobody. Be careful what you wish for :-) as this started to happen in early 2014. I listened to him often before and listen to him continuously still, because, when greatness is in front of you and you want to soak it up, technology makes that possible. I am truly blessed and highly favoured indeed! Thank you Les.

Zig Ziglar - Your brain and how it works

The late Zig Ziglar was one of the foremost experts on personal development, sales and several other areas. I included him not just because of his wisdom and wit but I wanted you to experience this genius and his speaking style. I also realise this is a longer video and you either loooove the way he speaks, or not. Either way, Zig is so worth listening to and his books such as "See you at the Top" still sell around the world.

The Story You Believe About Yourself Determines Your Success - Les Brown

It's about time that I put another awesome video of my dear friend and mentor, Les Brown on this blog. After all, when we talk about great speakers, when we talk about how to command a stage, when we talk about learning from the best in the world, surely Les HAS to be at the forefront of that mix. From the telling of personal stories, asking the audience questions, and their active participation to his body language and tonality....just amazing. "Tough times never last but tough people do"...You will make it as long as you have an achievement driven mindset. Enjoy :-)

Truly inspirational speech - Lou Holtz

Lou Holtz, one of THE most amazing coaches ever! This is one of his stunning speeches where he tells his story. What is even more amazing is that it is not just inspirational and packed with great wisdom, but also filled with brilliant humour. One great lesson Lou shares is that you need 4 things in life: Something to do, someone to love, someone to believe in, and something to hope for! "You can never do the right thing at the wrong time...". Enjoy these six minutes of pure genius and have fun in life!

Life Advice from Denzel Washington

I absolutely love this speech by one of my favourite actors, Denzel Washington. So many amazing quotes, so much to implement, so much to pay forward from this life enhancing video. Some examples: "You hang around the barbershop long enough and sooner or later, you'll get a haircut" , and the one he finishes this speech with: "Don't just aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference!" Be inspired and observe how much Denzel packs into these 10 short minutes.

Just Do It - Art Williams

Wow, Art Williams can speak....There is a lot of wisdom in this speech which can be applied to every part of your life and business. From a great coach to an even better businessman... He delivered this stunning speech in 1987, but more than 30 years later, we can learn much from this. He talks about focus, being a leader, persistence and then some....whatever it takes, Just do it!

The Power of non-verbal communication - Joe Navarro

Joe Navarro, Author and speaker, gives us some wonderful and important insights into non verbal communication, our beliefs and the reality of this way of displaying what we feel, think, and how we influence each other. From subtle hand movements to the way you touch certain parts of your face to the position of your feet... All these gestures tell a story. Do you sometimes not connect with people but not sure why?...This video will enlighten you and will also give us speakers and presenters some important tips, tools, and reminders, for when we stand in front of an audience.

Nelson Mandela speaking at Harvard

One of THE greatest leaders this world has ever seen, the Late Mr.Nelson Mandela, speaking at a ceremony at Harvard, where this amazing octogenarian received an honorary Doctoral Degree. I loved the humour amongst the more serious issues MrMandela addressed.

Lift as you Rise - Bonang Mohale

After listening to this powerful speaker, this compassionate giant, this amazing author CEO and thought leader some days ago, I HAD to post at least one of his inspirational talks. Listen to his wisdom and I know, just like me, you will learn more than just how to deliver a powerful speech from the heart. I feel privileged to learn from this man and, while standing on the shoulders of this giant, I know I will become a better person.
