The trick to powerful public speaking | Lawrence Bernstein 17:27

19 weeks ago17:27

17:27

Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

In this episode, I offer my perspective on the idea of doing nothing. I don't think it's possible. I think we can do good things, or not so good things, but even if we're very successful at doing nothing, we're still doing something.

Ep. 67 - Well, That's Interesting 8:53

3 years ago8:53

8:53

This episode ties together the idea of controlling the space between a stimulus and our response, and the idea that nothing around us has any meaning except the meaning we assign it. And I talk about one way we can start to eliminate the negatives around us, by seeing them as neutral instead. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitesizewise/message…

Ep. 66 - Perspective: Use It or Lose It 11:42

3 years ago11:42

11:42

In this episode, I discuss a passage from the book "Illusions" by Richard Bach. And I discuss how that passage relates to both the Buddha AND to Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich." And I start with a shameless plug for my other podcast, Illusions, available wherever you get your podcasts. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitesizewise/message…

Ep. 65 - Life is Too Darn Short to Argue 6:49

3 years ago6:49

6:49

In this episode I talk about another verse from the Dhammapada (loosely translated as The Path to Truth) and talk about how we can put this verse into action in our lives and make our own lives, and the world around us, a better place to live. My gratitude goes out to Anchor.fm for sponsoring this episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitesizewise/message…

Ep. 64 - Only Love Can End Hatred 8:21

3 years ago8:21

8:21

I recently started studying the Dhammapada, the teachings of the historical Buddha. And today I discuss verse 5, which teaches that only love can put an end to hatred. I'm sure you've heard that message from hundreds of other people. But taking a look at the world around us, we can easily see the message needs to be heard again. And again. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitesizewise/message…

Ep.62 - Choose a New Past to Create a New Future 10:36

3 years ago10:36

10:36

After reading "You can always choose a new future, or a new past" today (thank you to Richard Bach, in "Illusions") I realized I can look at my past in a completely different way. And THAT can help me create a whole new, fully empowered future. I hope you'll join me on the journey. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitesizewise/message…

Ep. 61 - Why bother living an uphappy life? 6:38

3 years ago6:38

6:38

With a HUGE hat tip to Richard Bach and The Messiah's Handbook...this simple little question, "Why bother living an unhappy life?" has wrecked me today. This simple little question has really grabbed me by the shoulders and shaken me around and made me re-think whether or not I'm willing to continue settling for what I'm settling for. Maybe it will do the same for you. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitesizewise/message…

"Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours." - Richard Bach in "Illusions." This is the topic of today's episode. And I also have an idea on how we can stop arguing for our own limitations. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitesizewise/message

Ep. 58 - Are You a Pipe or a Bucket? 6:56

3 years ago6:56

6:56

In this episode, I want you to be more of a pipe than a bucket. If you're already a pipe, then AWESOME! But if you are a bucket, poke some holes in the bottom and start to let things flow through you, more like a pipe. Hat Tip to my former pastor Matt Heard (http://mattheard.org) for making me a pipe 15 years ago. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitesizewise/message…

In this episode, I talk about how Superbowl Sunday and Olympic Games reveal who did the work, who put in the extra reps, who put in the extra hours of preparation so they could be ready to see, and seize, opportunities. There's a HUGE lesson there for all of us. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitesizewise/message…

In this episode, I talk about the fact that we are constantly giving our consent, our permission, our stamp of approval to results in our lives, even if we don't want those results. And most of the time, we are giving our consent because we just don't use our power of consent wisely. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitesizewise/message…
