Here is your Thursday STORY on: ADAPTING TO CHANGE: Some people think that there is a method of how to appear dominating and in charge. Imagine for example, a politician, don't they appear to be totally domineering? What about the President or as we have here in England, a Prime Minister, don't they appear to be always 'in charge' of their behavioural patterns? Broadcasters, high flying business people, high ranking army officials, high ranking government personnel, these and many more seem to have a charisma of strength and determination. So what is their secret? Making sure they are fully alert, and you will notice these people never allow themself to comment unless they have studied the facts. Knowledge is power! If you listen and respond, you will create the same energy and communication skills as these who perfect it professionally. QUOTE: 'When you only ever half listen, you can expect nothing less than only ever being half as effective.' Always pay full attention. Listen and respond, as a well structured response can change the world; more often than not, the structure isn't planned it comes from keeping full attention throughout your response. In effect what your heart tells you to say. If you could ever trust that reaction, you'll realise its potential. Try and remember a moment where you spoke without thinking, and the quality of that comment that was spoken; you may have even thought that it had come from someone else's mouth. Express this power vocally and physically and you will impress. If you knew how to harness this power you would use it regularly Adapting to change in this way is simple. Test, try and see; you may well be impressed yourself. So don't forget to listen and respond from the heart instantly. You will not know unless you try! Now on to today's story... PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE Today's example occurred in 1960. In was an American Presidential debate between Richard Nixon and John F Kennedy. The debate was broadcast both on radio and, for the first time on television. The majority of people who listened to the radio thought Nixon won the debate. But by far the majority watched it on television. Those that did thought Kennedy won. Why? Kennedy was much better at sending 'elect me' messages in a visual way that that of Nixon. (From a book by Nate Booth). QUOTE: 'Every man carries in his eye the exact indication of his rank.' (Ralph Waldo Emerson).
