✨Your positive thoughts and actions have the power to create a lasting impact on your children, family, and friends. I received a heartwarming message from Tawnia Allison, the proud daughter of Barry Allison, who attended one of my corporate seminars back in the 1980's. At that event, Barry received a "Success Comes in Cans, Not in Cannots" can, and the influence it had on him—and his daughter—is truly remarkable. Tawnia shared, "When I think back on my dad's incredibly successful career, that can always comes to mind. It's been displayed in every office he’s ever worked in, for as long as I can remember (and I'm 36 now!). It clearly meant the world to him. My dad is an extraordinary man, and people often praise him for his unwavering optimism and positivity. Now that I'm older, I realize how much that Success Can resonated with his values. I was determined to find one to surprise him with at his retirement party." As you can see in the photo, the label may have faded over the years, but the message remains timeless. Now it's your turn—focus on what YOU CAN do! 💪🙌 #PostiveAttitude #Mindset #Success #PositiveThinking

Learn how to use 10 speaking tools in just 8 minutes!  In this brief 8-minute video, my daughter and business partner, Jenny Locklin, demonstrates 10 powerful techniques that you can use to elevate your next presentation. Before diving into the details below, watch the video first. It's just a snippet of Jenny's 30-minute presentation where she spoke to the National Charity League, made up of mothers and their teenage daughters.  Now that you’ve watched the video, here are the 10 techniques Jenny used that you can apply: 1. Reading to an Audience: Always cite your sources and clarify the point. 2. Emotional Connection: Being in the moment can draw your audience into the experience. 3. Establishing Credibility: Mentioning the date and time ensures authenticity—no need to say, “This is a true story.” 4. Audience Focus: Notice how often Jenny uses “you” to make it all about the audience. 5. Personal Stories: Learn how to connect your personal narrative to your audience. 6. Visual Synchronization: Timing visuals with your speech doubles the impact. 7. Emotional Authenticity: Showing emotion, like crying, can enhance credibility and connection. 8. Message Customization: Tailor your message to your specific audience. 9. Audience Feedback: Using tools like QR codes can provide invaluable insights. The video was edited eliminating about 75 seconds which is the time she allowed for their answers. 10. Powerful Conclusions: End with emotion, impact, and a touch of humor. This video not only offers practical ideas for your presentations, but also gives a glimpse into Jenny’s speaking style. Beyond her undercover roles, she’s eager to bring her unique value to even more events. If you know of any groups that could benefit from her expertise, please let me know. Now, it’s your turn—put these ideas into action, and MAKE it a great day!
