“You never get a second chance to make a good first impression” – Will Rogers. This quote certainly holds true for speeches, presentations, group meetings and any other public speaking opportunity that exists. Your opening often determines just how much of your presentation the audience is going to “tune in” for. If the first impression the audience has is “B-O-R-I-N-G’ there is little chance of the presentation effectively reaching that audience. »

We had been proud of our governor Mike DeWine.    In an abundance of caution, weeks before the coronavirus traveled to Ohio, he closed down the state. The initiative wasn't popular. He became one of those Heroes of COVID-19.    Here in Lucas County, even when the pandemic arrived, infections were low. So were deaths. How blessed we felt. We gushed about our good fortune on social networks.    That was then.

Public speaking expert is a title that carries tremendous weight. Demosthenes, public speaking expert of the 4th century BC, is one of the legendary Greek orators. Some of his most famous (and my favorite) addresses of his relate to his opposition to King Phillip II of Macedon. Although he passed away in 322 BC, Demosthenes is relevant to 21st century orators because of his dedication to practice and preparation. Demosthenes’ dream was to be a great orator, » Read more.

Q2 was not kind to Vox Media. Overall, it's been the worst of times during COVID-19 times for media. Vox's revenues were off 40% from what had been anticipated. And for 2020, it's projecting they will off 20%. The primary factor is a drop-off in advertising during the pandemic.    Vox owns big media properties ranging from New York Magazine to Eats. In addition, because of shelter-in-place, its events niche is on-hold.

Smart communicators know to be topical in creating opinion-editorials for third-party media, posts for blogs, speeches, podcasts, and snippets for social networks.    Yet, they simply don't consider the engagement power of the topical in email blasts. That usually means low open/conversion rates.    In coaching clients I motivate them to at least experiment with the topical strategy for their next email campaign.

But, that's all it is: speculation.

Is the quality of instruction at Harvard significantly better than at non-elite institutions? That's not why the ambitious struggle to be admitted to that institution of higher learning since it had been founded by the Puritans in 1636. The value of the Harvard educational experience is the networking on campus, both with classmates and with professors. COVID-19 has cancelled that experienced for many this fall - and perhaps beyond. No one knows how long the pandemic will last.

For example, he couldn't understand why employees would want higher compensation. After all, went his thinking, weren't they fortunate to be part of his team.

He pulled that off without a job, sophisticated technology, human companionship, healthcare, or deliveries from the post office. Michael Finkel captured that amazing true-life story in the book "The Stranger in the Woods."

Dating back to 1636, when the Puritans created Harvard , higher education has been considered a special or even sacred institution. That was reinforced with the GI Bill, which opened that path for upward mobility to the masses. Until tuition got out of hand or there seemed to be a gap between degrees and career opportunities, the mindset had been: The more education, the better. Now, on every front, the barbarians are at the gate. One front has been the legal system.

Finally, I got it that I am winning the money game. At least the one for those over-65. Instead of doing the counting based on maxing the creation of wealth, I have shifted to calculating how long I can live comfortably on funds I have locked in. The good news is: until age 82. After that, there could be belt-tightening and/or compromises like moving into subsidized senior rentals. Not the end of the world and doable.    What I advise those I coach is to exit careerism.

As a result, it has made the tough decision to cut 180 jobs. Of those, 70 will be in editorial. However, it does not plan to set up a paywall. Many other media outfits such as The New York Times and Bloomberg have a hybrid paywall. Each month they allow a specified number of free reads.

Read the fine print. Maybe that's the lesson learned from the disenchantment with video mobile app TikTok. Bloomberg reports that early in the game TikTok made it known that it could be sharing the data it was collecting about users with the Chinese. Those in the loop could range from government to business. It has 2 billion users.    Only recently, though, has there been a surge in concern about TikTok and national security risks.

What's new in Toledo, Ohio is this: lines of people snaking around restaurants.    This hasn't been the scene since Governor Mike DeWine ordered a shelter-in-place. That was even before the state got hit by COVID-15. Now, with Ohio slowly reopening, even with new virus cases on the rise, there obviously is plenty of pent-up demand to eat out. Not just carry out. Among the main drags in Toledo is Monroe Street. There are plenty of chain and mom-and-pop dining establishments.

Therefore, they represent a prized and increasingly needed source of revenue. In 2018, that totaled about $45 billion.
