The Memorygirl Matrix

Greenbee would this article help re your talk and subject matter?

I would look at injecting some humour into the talk, e.g. introduce the subject with a grand flair and panache, really, really build it up and then....announce with a flourish that you'd got your subject matter mixed up and we're going to talk about 'the subject'....:D

I like it MG- have shared the link on my FB page. Hope that's ok. Sorry i haven't been able to do more lately.

Memorygirl, this is one glorious post. It is not often that I read something and feel its vibrations resonating through me like the sound of twenty African drums. This is what happened when I read your post - and for this I thank you.

I have no doubt that the places on the courses will be booked and that the books will sell - the Universe is with us and we are with the Universe. As to climbing this mountain - you have already started; in fact you are so much up it that the only way is to the top. Go, my dear, and for my part I'll support you with what I can.

A very emotional (uncharacteristically)

I thoroughly agree Firewalker- meant to say that myself.

Passion, I believe is the key. The subject matter can be as boring as hell, but if the person presenting has passion it draws me in like a moth to a flame, no matter what the subject matter. People think with their emotions, subjectively rather than objectively ( for a beginning anyway it gets people listening).
After that its upto you to keep them engaged.
Volume, tone. pitch, & pace. Colour what you are projecting with tone variance, emphasise syllables and don't shorten them. and so on and so forth.
Sorry just my opinion . . . . . . .:D

Thanks...

Article is great thanks. Sadly work make us stick to a rigid structure (and they've been ripping out everyone's graphics this year too, to give the material a more consisten 'corporate' look... pity they didn't tell us they'd be doing that before we all put the work in!)

Well I just worked out how to share a link to your website on facebook :j

I updated my status to:

Do you want to learn how to learn and remember it ... a fun mind map workshop could just what you need. Coming to a town near you! ... brilliant for anyone over 10 years old

Just added website as my status on FB
I hope you don't mind NorthernLas, but I used your wording.

I've just posted a link on my facebook too.
