Those of you who know me know that I’m a huge Oakland A’s fan. Well, last night’s baseball game between the Oakland A’s and the Detroit Tigers left even me—a speech coach—speechless. The Oakland A’s aren’t the favored team to win.

I’m thrilled that one Bay Area team is in the World Series this year, but as many of you know, I’m a fan of the team on the other side of the bay—the Oakland A’s.

Brown also had been released from the Oakland Raiders because of a feud over social media.  Legal problems haven't siphoned off power from Patriots' owner Robert Kraft. Antonio Brown got the boot, reports Daily Mail , because Kraft, conferring with Bill Belichick, made that decision. The tipping point in BrownGate was, sources say, the threatening texts the wide receiver sent to one woman who accused him of sexual misconduct.

Now, as the Daily Mail reports, the statement a professor at Laney College, Oakland, California, made to a student from Viet Nam about anglicizing her name resulted in his suspension. Anglicizing a last name used to be an economic survival move.    Back in the early 1950s, on the Hudson County, New Jersey docks, my maternal uncle Frank Miksza did just that.

Another trial is underway in Oakland. So far, Bayer has lost two trials in California, one is state court and one in federal, associated with Roundup. It will probably appeal the approximately $80 million verdict in the federal one - the case of Edwin Hardeman.    One strategy Bayer can pursue, reports Bloomberg , is to continue to go the litigation route. It will hope to gain some wins against plaintiffs.

He points out the social and economic good which has come from that, e.g. slashing unemployment rates in surrounding areas like Oakland. Millennials, whether successful or not, seem to believe that Arrogance Is Good. They strut themselves, their opinions, their selfies and their gadgets, without any of the boundaries of more socialized folks. In Bloomberg Business Week, Joel Stein looks at the Silicon Valley or extreme version of Arrogance Is Good.

From as far east as Greensburg and as far west as the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, my memory bank contains snapshots of life being happily lived in the 1970s. Yesterday I drove around the Pittsburgh Metro area. And paid dearly for that in gasoline.    I hadn't been back in western Pennsylvania for months. Sure, I knew that gasoline there was higher than in Eastern Ohio. But, I hadn't been aware of the recent price jumps.

Found this great article thanks to Doug on former Oakland A’s all-star baseball player Henderson’s preparation for his Hall of Fame induction speech. Always a nervous speaker, he decided to get some help in the form of a speech class at the local college, and as part of the course had them critique his speech, pointing out areas for improvement.

Back in mid August 1981, I had left to take a temporary assignment in Washington D.C.    I guess that's called "taking the long way home." " How the Pittsburgh region became home I don't really know.

After one of my first Rotary Club speeches, someone asked, “What would you charge to say all this to the Oakland Appliance Dealers?” When did you first start speaking? How long until speaking became your full-time job? In 1976, when I was San Francisco’s #1 men’s hairstylist, I started delivering seminars to hairstylists for a hair product company called Markham. Through recommendations from my executive clients, Rotary Clubs and men’s breakfast clubs invited me to speak.

In preparation for her talk she asked me if there would be a way to reproduce an exercise called “Speaker & Audience Mapping&# that she usually leads in the slideology workshops. The exercise goes like this: the audience picks one of a dozen different audience types (eg. Then Nancy asks the entire group to shout out responses to several questions.
