You're only as good as your worst speech. It takes so many more good appearances to make up for one bad one. The cliche goes: "One cockroach spoils a basket of strawberries. One strawberry does not improve a basket of cockroaches". I'm going to share with you a great speech. It is a speech where the most commonly used word is "Peace". It is a speech that appeals to finding the middle ground between warring factions. It is a speech speaking of an aspirational future and delivered with warmth and optimism. It's a speech delivered in the 1960s. Okay, I've given the game away. It's obviously a speech by Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela or JFK or one of these other great speakers we place on a pedestal. Actually, it's a speech by Richard Nixon. It's a speech you probably haven't seen, because you are only as good as your worst speech. It is Nixon's inauguration speech in 1969, which has been the defining speech for several US Presidents. But it does not define Nixon. That's because his most famous speech is delivered five years later, when he resigns amidst the Watergate Scandal. That is certainly the only speech I had seen of Nixon's, until I sat down to analyse his inauguration speech. In this speech, it was refreshing to see a different side of Nixon, a fresher, more positive version entering the office of President than the one we see leaving it. If you want to learn how to avoid "Speech-gate" and end up being defined by one bad speech you deliver, then watch this analysis to learn how to ensure you can make all of your speeches a high quality. #publicspeaking #speeches #presentationskills

14 President's BEFORE George Washington Before George Washington, there were 14 presidents who served the Continental Congress. These presidents were not presidents of the United States, as the United States Constitution had not yet been ratified. Their roles were more akin to that of a chairman or speaker, presiding over the Congress during the American Revolution. Here is a list of the 14 presidents before George Washington: 1. Peyton Randolph 2. Henry Middleton 3. John Hancock 4. Henry Laurens 5. John Jay 6. Samuel Huntington 7. Thomas McKean 8. John Hanson 9. Elias Boudinot 10. Thomas Mifflin 11. Richard Henry Lee 12. John Hancock (second term) 13. Nathaniel Gorham 14. Arthur St. Clair These men played a crucial role in the formation of the United States, presiding over the Continental Congress during the Revolutionary War and the early years of the nation’s history. However, their roles were distinct from the presidency of the United States, which began with George Washington in 1789.

Using the Toward Liberation guide, we've helped leaders explore how the Cultures of Liberation and Dominance handle discomfort differently. The Culture of Dominance often encourages us to suppress and ignore our emotions, leading to unconscious reactions. The Culture of Liberation urges us to recognize and reflect on our emotional response, responding with purpose and integrity. This awareness is crucial for leaders (with power and authority) working to align their values of justice and equity to their everyday actions.
Kim Ondreck, CFO at the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA), had this to say about our Towards Liberations guide! Read her full testimony on our website here: https://lnkd.in/e_xhbmqr

Presidents' Day, officially Washington's Birthday at the federal governmental level, is a holiday in the United States celebrated on the third Monday of February. It is often celebrated to honor all those who served as presidents of the United States and, since 1879, has been the federal holiday honoring Founding Father George Washington, who led the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolutionary War, presided at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, and was the first U.S. president. The day is an official state holiday in most states, with names including Washington's Birthday, Presidents' Day, President's Day, Presidents Day, and Washington's and Lincoln's Birthday. The various states use 15 different names. Depending upon the specific law, the state holiday may officially celebrate Washington alone, Washington and Abraham Lincoln, or some other combination of U.S. presidents (such as Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who was born in April).[source: https://bit.ly/3OHJZ14]

The Democrats dont do anything but lie. Don't do anything bit accuse others of who they are, what they are, what they're doing, or what theyre going to do. Hillary is the one staging FEMA concentration camps, already gotren 25 billion for Ukraine build back. They promoted Ukraine for NATO to get Russia to attack so Black Rock could get the build back. Hillary is bitch Hitler that just murderd 500,000 people for Black Rock. She 8s Hitler. Democrats take all your money for their criminal activities. "Build back Better" was the secret code name for rebuilding Ukraine. The only thing they build is their multuple estates and jets with oir tax money. Investors like Donald Trump take private dollars, invest, and build real buildings with real return. The Democrat Deep State Cartel has to go
HORRIBLE: In case you missed this today, Hillary Clinton went on TheView on ABC News and compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler of Germany, said he will completely destroy America if elected again. WATCH

👤 In this edition of The POV, Konrad S. examines the professional history and presidential candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. His politics has continually sparked debate in a deeply polarised American election. Szumiński argues that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. emerges as a significant independent candidate due to his illustrious family background and contentious stance on vaccines. Despite his controversial views, Szumiński contends that Kennedy Jr.'s environmental activism and legal work demonstrate a commitment to change despite his polarising opinions, especially on vaccines, have alienated some voters. Yet, Szumiński believes Kennedy Jr. could attract disillusioned voters seeking an alternative to the current political dichotomy, positioning him as a potentially serious contender in the 2024 US election. #robertfkennedy #RFKjr #USA #2024election #uspolitics https://lnkd.in/e9UJMCj9
