Keep your promise/s

When I hear speakers continually say the word “right?” following many of their proclamations, I see they don’t wait for an answer. Should they? Certainly — after all, they DID ask a question. …

Raconteur?

How’s your vocabulary? When I grew up, I learned English in Australia. Now, living in America, I always wonder why I get misinterpreted online more than understood. My theory is (and it’s only a theory) is that I write at the grade level I was taught, and that is higher…

What? The f*ck!

A comment I once received at an event was that I should be censured or never invited back. From one person out of the 50 attendees. I offended them because I used “bad” words! Interestingly, they were SO offended, they spent time writing down the offensive words for the record…

Men vs. Women?

While I am a cis white male, I have friends who cover the spectrum. Male and female. Gay, transgender, straight, bi+++. Many shades of brown (watch comedian Joe Wong explain this). The advantage — for them — is that as an old(er) white male, I often have a voice where…

Um. Er.. Ah… Right?

Um. Er.. Ah… Right? As a professional speaker, I work to hone my craft. That comes in many forms, from evolving my programs to being better on stage. Speakers presenting a session need to be prepared to deliver their message, and this reduces fluff and filler words. Watch any speaker…

Make Things

My dad was an engineer. He taught his children how to invent and create stuff — from creating random art to building a motorcycle. My mum told me I was good at mathematics, so I needed to study accounting in college. In my first semester, I discovered computing and was hooked. What computing allowed me to do was to create. I was able to build things — in this case, programs — that were for a purpose. The act of creating (making) is a joy to me, and I continue that to this day.

Is it really all about YOU?

My book — Never Iron When You Are Naked — has a cover photo that includes a statue of Michelango’s David with his crotch covered by an iron on an ironing board. Someone I know asked if I was wanting to represent myself as a naked man, because I used…

Coffee is good/bad for you

If you read the reporting of science, one day coffee will be good for you and extend your life for 40 years, and then another day coffee will be extremely bad for you and end your life prematurely. As with any substance we consume, moderation is best for us. If…

Distraction — entertainment or manipulation

As a speaker, I have dabbled in magic. There is always one thing to add to our repertoire to wow an audience. My first foray into magic was for a company who sold ALM software — that is “Application Lifecycle Management”, or known vernacularly as “Change Management”. During my presentation…
