While it may not be 1941 London, England, Design Firm leaders face a host of challenges every day. These challenges whether with clients or internally with teams require a particular set of communication skills. Through the lens of the life of Winston Churchill and his success in WWII, we'll show you how to develop solid listening skills. Develop a message for each audience - both internal and external, learn how to read body language like a champ, understand the power of the unspoken word, and finally the importance of writing everything down for posterity and your posterior. Churchill failed early in life and managed to turn things around. You can learn a lot from his communication experiences and apply them to your career.
This was a COMPLETE pain to create. I created this for a Business Communication class.. My professor was very strict however this is the best presentation I have created so far...

The only way to conquer a fear is to run directly at it. If we run away, our fear will consume us. Moving forward allows us to face the target in going to the center place for achieving success.
This presentation is about the basic knowledge presentation skill development.
Have you ever had to give an important presentation in front of colleagues or clients and you felt like you desperately wanted to run off the stage and escape?
I have! In fact, I almost always used to feel like that when I had to speak in public. I used to suffer from stage fright and I would find myself trembling and sweating. What saved me was the fact that I could cover it up so no one actually noticed. But I still had a very unpleasant feeling of it being “me against them”, as if the audience were my enemy and I had to fight against them.
So, you may well be asking how I became a public speaking coach myself?! Well, I learned some really useful techniques to help me to manage my stress so as to feel more confident and comfortable in front of my audience. I also researched the reasons for people feeling such fear of public speaking and realised that it’s actually a totally natural phenomenon called the “fight or flight” response.
It’s a survival mechanism which enables us to react quickly when our life is in danger. The hormonal changes and physiological responses that occur in the body help us to run away to safety as quickly as possible or have the strength to fight against the threat.
Our automatic nervous system has two components:
1. The sympathetic nervous system, which triggers the fight or flight response and fills the body with a burst of energy,
2. The parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes the “rest and digest” response, calming down the body once the danger has passed.
Firstly, the sympathetic nervous system activates the fight or flight response. It reacts to unexpected changes in our environment, especially threats. The body speeds up and becomes more tense and alert to maximise our chances of survival in a dangerous situation. Adrenaline and noradrenaline hormones are released into the bloodstream so that we can deal with the threat successfully. This leads to the following physical reactions:
• Our heart rate, blood pressure and breathing speed up,
• Our muscles become tense,
• Fat and sugar are released to provide energy to the muscles. This can also cause trembling,
• Digestion and urine production are put standby as they’re not needed in this situation,
• Sweating occurs. This keeps the body cool and makes us harder to grab if we’re attacked,
• Our pupils dilate so that more light can enter and we can see the threat more clearly,
When you perceive a situation as dangerous, certain physiological processes kick in instantly to help you escape that danger. That's the well-known "fight or flight response." In terms of public speaking anxiety, the body releases a pair of stress hormones, adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline prepares the body to fight the threat or to flee (if the danger is too great to fight); while cortisol assists in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats—in other words, to get you activated.
When the body exp

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
