retirement-speech
Let me first say I’m slightly confused by all these wonderful things people have been saying about me all evening. Not that I don’t agree with your comments. In fact, I could add a few other qualities I think you’ve overlooked. But what genuinely confuses me is that none of you’ve bothered to mention these feelings to me before. Heck, if you’d only come and spoken to me before I retired, who knows, I might have given you a raise or a promotion. I would have at least spoken a little more kindly of you. Even towards you, for that matter.
Honestly, though, I couldn’t be more honored by tonight’s ceremony. To hear those who are the closest and most important people in my life recounting such touching memories is a very special pleasure.

public-speaking
Yesterday I had the pleasure of interviewing Tony Jeary for our upcoming "Conversations with the World’s Greatest Public Speakers" . He is a coach to some of the world’s greatest CEO’s who recognize the importance of communication. The primary goal of every one of these leaders is to communicate their vision effectively so that their teams can execute that vision in the marketplace. That’s why Tony has been hired by the CEO’s of some of the world’s greatest companies like EDS, New York Life, Wal-Mart, Firestone, Samsung, Ford and Qual-comm.
Tony is also an influential writer who has authored over 20 titles beginning with Inspire Any Audience in 1995. His next major offering, Strategic Acceleration through Communication Mastery (scheduled for 2008) promises to be the signature book of his career. During the interview Tony mentioned the free assessment available on his site. You can access them on Tony’s Web site at www.tonyjeary.com or by clicking here.
