Change Your Future - Simon Sinek

I noticed this amazing life enhancing motivational speech by Simon Sinek which is full of wisdom. A great example of a power packed 15 minutes. 1. Go after the things you want. You can do it your way, just don't prevent others from getting what they want. 2. Sometimes, you're the problem! Take responsibility for your actions. 3. Take care of each other. Accept help when you need it, and offer it when others do. 4. Be the last to speak. (Leaders speak last!) Ask questions and discover why they think what they think. 5. Remember humility and gratitude. All the "stuff" is for your position, not you. The styrofoam cup is for me!

I Have A Dream - Martin Luther King Jr.

This is one of THE most amazing speeches ever made by an amazing orator and Human Being! It was delivered on the March for Jobs and Freedom on August 28th 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Washington DC. to more than 250K people. This is a very compassionate speech made by someone who stood for what he believed in 100%. We all know by now that he paid the ultimate price for his beliefs and the way he spoke out for millions of people. It is yet another different kind of speech in a very different delivery but wow....absolutely powerful indeed.

It's not over until you win - Les Brown

This speech by my dear friend and mentor, Les Brown, HAS to be on my page. I remember watching a recording of this in the late 90s and was simply blown away! I already mentioned that some years prior to this speech, I had decided Les was going to train me. This is his story and his best speech ....YET, as the living legend is certainly very much alive and speaking. I know that not everyone will become or will want to become such an amazing speaker as Les Brown and that is not necessary. When you tell you story with care and compassion for those around you, you will create significance as you WILL touch lives. There are some tremendous quotes in this 35 minute speech and remember these ones, "Never ever let the opinion of others become your reality"& "It is always better to be prepared and not have an opportunity than have an opportunity and not be prepared".......Prepare yourself!
