Do You Have Your Happy File Ready for an AWESOME 2019?

Do You Have Your Happy File Ready?

Have you got your happy file ready?
Do you have a happy file?
Do you even know what a happy file is?

OK - Let's start at the beginning.

A happy file is a place where you store all the nice emails, cards, things that others have said about you. They are the comments or moments that made you feel good about what you do, who you are and the person you are growing up to be. It could be from a family member, friend, client, competitor, stranger, whoever - just something that makes you go "YEEESSSSS!!!" on the inside.

Maybe they said, "Wow you have done an amazing job with your kids. They are such a joy to be around" or "You are amazing at what you do, without your efforts we could never have received the acclaim we have" or "You always know the right thing to say. Thank you".

You know the times they say it, write it, post it - make sure you capture it and put it in a file somewhere.

A happy file is important because it is a brilliant place to turn to when you have doubt.

I don't care who you are. There are times you will have doubt. "Am I doing the right thing, will this work, am I any good at this, am I barking up the wrong tree" - It happens to EVERYONE.

When it does happen, open up your Happy File and have a look at what others have said about you in the past (because sometimes you simply cannot trust your own perspective). It helps boost you in a time when you need it.

With a powerful Happy File in your corner, it will make the coming year a whole lot easier and more successful for you.

Let me know if you need any help.

How's Life?

Socrates famously said at his trial for corrupting youth, that an "Unexamined life is not worth living."

While "not worth living" is a little harsh, it is evident that there is great value in examining life to squeeze extra value out of the lessons learned or to reflect on situations to consider if there was a lesson there at all.

Consequently, I have created what I call a Regular Results Review. It is a simple one page document you can quickly use to assess the year, what you did well, what you would do differently, what opportunities you have coming for the year ahead and a few other things as well. It is a great way to consider the year that has just passed and how you can get the most out of the year ahead.

To get your copy of the Regular Results Review, simply click this link and it will open for you.

As you are considering your year ahead, I have a couple of options for you (yes this is the blatant flogging!!)
1) Get More Speaker Success
A one day workshop in Sydney on 17th January focussed on how to sell more speaker services and run your speaking business more effortlessly. Click on the link above for more details. Only 2 spots left!

2) Get More MC Success
An 8 week series of live conversations held online, starting Feb 2019. This series is focussed on the skills, tips and tricks to be an authentic and engaging MC. Click on the link above.

Dear-Reader thank you so much for your support this year.
I have many subscribers tell me that they have removed themselves from many other newsletter but they really enjoy this one.
It can be hard to hit a balance of promotions and sharing thoughts and ideas. Your feedback tells me I am pretty much on track.

I hope you have a fantastic festive season and that next year brings great things for you and your loved ones.

I look forward to being in your inbox next year!

Warm regards

Warwick

Drowning in Words of Starving for Sentences?

Drowning In Words or Starving for Sentences?

When you are on stage or have to speak to a group of people, it is feast or famine.

You either have so many words that you can't stop talking or you are a rabbit in the headlights and the words won't come out. You know that you know what you want to say, it's just that the words have disappeared!

That's where the art of linking or Segues comes into play.

There are four different types of segues. One of my favourites is the final one Chaos.

This is where there is no link whatsoever but you force one in there anyway. They appeal to my sense of humour as well as adding an obvious transition.

If ever you have been stuck in a presentation or talking to someone and are not sure how to get to the next topic, these are brilliant. You can simply ignore what you were just talking about, come up with a whimsical statement or even something surreal and then launch into the next topic.

Monty Python did this all the time on their sketch show. You may be watching something about a family discussing Woody or Tinny words and then up comes "And now for something completely different" followed by something equally ridiculous like a Fish Slapping Dance.

They were so well known for this segue that it became the name of one of their movies.

The similar one you will hear more often is when the host says, "Without further ado" and then changes the topic completely.

If you are interested in finding out how to better connect your presentation points or writing points, why not join me for the free 30 minute session, Sorting our Your Segues this week.
Simply go to GetMoreMCSuccess.com/segue for more information or to register.

PS The latest episode of the Get More Success show is a conversation with Andrea Edwards, a digital conversationalist based in Phuket. She has a really down to earth and practical approach to social media and conversations in business. I trust you will enjoy this episode.
