Barry Eisler teaching talking.

I have a great friend named Barry Eisler. If you don’t know Barry, or heard of his fantastic John Rain novels, I suggest you check them out and give yourself an action-packed treat. However, there are many facets to Barry, and his talents are not few in number.

In surfing today, pondering about teaching and how in the classes I give, the children always give their parents good reviews. Ok, maybe not always, but I don’t get the negative feedback—and I receive praise on a regular basis. Why is that? The kids told me it was because I ‘talked’ to them, instead of lectured, or ‘giving a talk’. I interacted with them and brought them into the lessons emotionally and mentally.

That was great news, but even better when I was led to Barry’s own message board and the topic, lo and behold: How to Give a Great Talk.

This is great stuff here. Read it, print it out and take your interactive lessons, talks and speeches to the next level.
