2022-12-01Richard Burton Speech to Frank Sinatra 1983 - Mr Anonymous
What a powerful speech. The opening, the cadence and the language used in this speech is a master piece we should all strive for. I think we may need theatrical and Shakespearian training to achieve this.What a powerful speech.

2022-10-27Speaking Up Without Freaking Out
The speaker explains that anxiety is hardwired in us based on evolution as we are wired to be concerned about our relative status to others. He shares techniques to manage the physiological and cognitive symptoms of anxiety when communicating in high-stakes situations. He emphasizes that managing anxiety is important not just for the communicator's confidence, but also to help the audience receive the message without distractions from second-hand anxiety. Abrahams believes that we cannot overcome our anxiety, nor should we want to, but rather learn to manage it so that it does not manage us.The speaker explains that anxiety is hardwired in us based on evolution as we are wired to be concerned about our relative status to others.
