    I was impressed with the thought of making the unfamiliar familiar to get ahead. This I suppose is making something a habit but I have not heard of it put in these terms.

    Mike, did you watch the video?

    posting a post as a “chat” doesn’t do anything different. BTW

    I just watched it, and that actually helps me, a lot. I know some of these things already, but I definitely need to be reminded, and she puts it VERY concisely (for a TED talk – the few I’ve watched seem padded) and gives real world examples. I’ve been contemplating a book project but can’t seem to get started, I’m definitely going to use this. Thanks, Dime!

      I got the link and thought watching this was not going to be worth my time. The title was interesting but I figured in would just be gobblygook. It wasn’t and I like you found it helpful, Pencil.

      Do I get a place in the acknowledgements if you get the book project done?

    Yes indeed. Don’t worry if on your copy it looks like I’ve written your name in pencil, that’s just how I do things.

    No no, you’ll be able to read it. It will be all pictures.

    I think if I concentrate very hard on picturing myself not talking to hosiery anymore it will vastly improve my chances of doing the book.

    One of the most interesting things you’ve ever posted Dime and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Granted, I am a blonde- a real one- so I give this speaker extra points for authenticity. :)

    I agreed with her analysis of fear and I certainly harbor one of the most common of them all – speaking in public. I admit I didn’t have a conversation with my mind when I was asked to make a presentation at a corporate function in front of 1,000 peers and executives who I interacted with nearly every day.

    I did have the good sense to read accomplished public speaker Liddy Dole’s autobiography and her chapter on the art of winning your audience. I followed every single one of her rules, practiced – and then practiced some more – and don’t mind saying I ‘hit it outta the park.’

    What I might have disagreed with was Peer’s inference to terrorists on airplanes. A year after 9/11, I was flying cross country and the hair on the back of my neck went up at the sight of three young men sitting behind me. This is an instance when one should pay heed to instinct and I did. I quietly reported my concerns (too many to repeat here) to the flight crew who blew me off completely; thus, I spent 7 hours of extreme anxiety and tried to figure how to make a weapon out of my mascara wand.

    Guess what? The plane landed at LAX at 6:00 a.m.and we were all instructed to stay in our seats as three sky marshalls literally invaded the plane and lifted all three of my suspects out of their seats and dragged them off the plane.

    The airline refused to confirm or deny the incident.

    I’d forgotten that one point, you’re right, Liz – after her line about terrorists on a plane , I thought -mmmmmm, no, bad example.

    Great vid, Dime. Very practical advice. Thanks for posting it.
