  1. If one does not live in the irony and the humor of life, one is bound to live and die with a broken heart.
  2. The speaker of the 21st century is a mix of high-end talent and high-end knowledge. Anything less is a luxury of another era.
  3. A speaker is a teacher, leader, and model for intelligent, courageous risk-taking. Nothing less.
  4. Wrote article on joyous rescue of chilean miners and the psychological effects of extreme deprivation. Read theorionpost.net
  5. Those of us who have the privilege of being heard are obligated, at the very least, to provide hope and to evoke joy.
  6. The turning point is now. With a unified commitment to "be" more, we can save ourselves and our world.
  7. It is easy to exhibit "best practices" and basic human grace when times are good. The true measure of our success comes when times are hard.
  8. Our well-being depends on meaningful, face-to-face verbal connections even as they fall by the technological wayside.
  9. "Speakers" are not relevant. What is needed are powerful teachers, with solid leadership experience in the chaos of a new world
  10. Even now, in these times, those who cannot hear the sweet music of the universe, are not listening.
  11. A mind in fear is one both susceptible to illusory relief and incapable of imagination.
  12. "Comics" can spread anger and easy obscenities. Humorists, satirists, teach and unify, and touch on the issues that matter to us most.
  13. Add quality to at least one life a day - other than those of your family.
  14. "Speakers" are no relevant. What is needed are powerful teachers, with solid leadership experience in the chaos of a new world.
  15. If you are off the beaten path, you are on the right track. Sheep do not wander from the pack.
  16. Each moment is one we can use to turn our lives around.
  17. If you are feeling ripped off by life, give something away. Something from the heart.
  18. The "motivational speaker" should be something of the recent past.. The new urgency calls for "shift makers" who can inspire beyond fear.
  19. To be legitimate, "Speakers" must also be "doers"
  20. Smile. It confuses people.
