My 6-year old's first stage experience taught me

Hi Reader How are you doing? I wanted to share this with my community here but maybe this week is the right time. We stress a lot about various techniques and ideas that sometimes we miss concentrating on one thing. It just hit me like a ton of bricks when I watched my 6 year old's first stage experience holding the microphone. (Ok, I got very emotional seeing that while generally I portray an image of not getting emotional!) Watch the video here. It's a poem and I'm fairly confident you'll like it.  Now, let's talk about what hit me like a ton of bricks. You would have noticed that he did not use any body language or actions. Not that he did not practice. It's just that they gave him a hand held microphone and he just went with the flow. It just hit me that the clarity of the words and the energy in your voice matters more than anything else. So that's the idea for today. Hope that helps. Please reply and let me know if you have any questions. As always, thanks for being awesome! Rama

The hype around AI became more because of Gen AI (Generative...

Here are a few unexpected lessons I’ve picked up recently: I can try to stop winning arguments and avoid giving the last statement.(Which basically translates to: just say sorry and keep your mouth shut. I know. Very hard. But… try.) I’m taking coaching from my wife on how to kiss.Quick tip for all the...
How are you?I hope you had a wonderful weekend—and if you’re in the US, a very happy Thanksgiving! The past month has been a little tight, and I’m sorry I couldn’t send out my usual newsletter. But it’s good to be back, and I have something special to share. Recently, I had the chance to speak to the District 41 Toastmasters community about building your contest muscle, and it was an incredible experience. I wanted to share a few key ideas from that session—insights that I hope will help you...
