Public Speaking Seminars - Are They Worth It? | Eastside Writer ...

Now that you have developed your speech or seminar how can you find an audience? Begin with the telephone book or even the internet. Look under service clubs, rotary clubs, lions club, etc. If youre just starting a great place reaches retirement homes or rv parks. One other way is to ask your pals about a possible location or club they are conscious of. Search for signs in restaurants the so and so club meets here on Tuesdays or whatever. You typically get the contact name and number from the restaurant. For those who have created a seminar not just a speech you must do a little more work. Finding a location can be difficult and dear. Check hotels as well as restaurants. Churches also provide rooms for rent. Some companies in addition have a room you could use try realtor offices, Law offices etc. I recommend which have something to handout. Power point can prints copies of the slide four or six on the page. I usually bind the handout this can be done at any nearby office supply store. Now, ways to get the term out about the seminar.

Small ads in local newspapers usually will get the term out. Likewise try the Internet. Seek advice from TV and radio stations about running ads or at best obtaining a mention on their web site. Charge or Free?? This is your decision however i have discovered that people have a better interest when they pay a small amount. If you sell something at the rear of the room you can still charge for the seminar. What do I mean by back of the room? You may make a CD of the presentation with a lot more information available following the seminar, small booklets regarding your susceptible to sell for a modest charge. With todays computers this is fairly easy to do. For those who have written a magazine: this is actually the perfect place to sell it. As you practice record your work to the computer then you are half way there for any back from the room product. To help advertise your back from the room product dont give out all your secrets or information. When someone requests further information, point out that it is within the product which will be provided for them. It helps to have an assistant for a seminar to help using the sale of the product. You will notice that several folks can come forward to speak with you thus tying you up and not be able to provide the product as folks leave.

Be sure to get everyones business card or ask them to fill out a card. Make sure to include current email address around the card. This can be used later on to help promote you products.

GREENS? SCOTTSDALE MILL PROPOSAL A PERFECT FIT FOR IGA: More Jobs with Less Logs

Kim Booth MP, Greens Member for Bass

Kim Booth MP
Greens Forestry Spokesperson

The Tasmanian Greens said the Greens? proposal for a diversified timber processing and training centre at Scottsdale was a perfect fit for the economic transition aims espoused under the Tasmanian Forests Intergovernmental Agreement, and should be part of the Kelty-West process.

Greens Forestry spokesperson Kim Booth MP said that the proposal was all about helping to develop a new forest industry with a focus on high-value products which can truly compete on global markets, underpinned by Forest Stewardship Council certification.

Mr Booth said that the Greens released the proposal in 2008 as a real job creating opportunity to counter job losses resulting from the closure of the two Gunns Scottsdale softwood sawmills.

?This proposal is about more jobs with less logs,? Mr Booth.

?Far from trying to ?shut-down? the timber industry, the Greens are focused on helping transform Tasmania?s timber industry into a globally-competitive market innovator, not just a bulk commodity exporter.?

?The Labor and Liberal parties need to end this fallacy that all our problems will be solved by some kind of industrial white knight from the 19th Century.?

?They are using the pulp mill as a political wedge, when they should be supporting real timber jobs generated by a high-value, low-volume downstream processing industry.?

?With the pulp mill now dead and buried, it?s time for those who?ve been trying to keep Tasmania trapped in a cargo-cult mentality to wake up and start helping to get the forest industry transition underway.?

Afghans Want to Know If U.S. Soldier Shooter Acted Alone

In Afghan and regional media, the most pressing question about the horrific killings?of 16 Afghan civilians by a rogue U.S. soldier is whether he acted alone. Today, Afghan officials said that nine of the 16 victims were children and some of the bodies were charred. In an interview with Fox News, Pentagon spokesman Capt. John Kirby said the suspected shooter is a father in his mid-thirties who had been deployed to Iraq twice.

RELATED: These Are the Taliban Prisoners Up for Release

Questions remain?This morning, Afghanistan's largest online news portal Khaarma Press reported that the killings have brought U.S.-Afghan relations to an "all-time low" with President Hamid Karzai issuing an "angry statement" denouncing the "unforgivable?action." Afghan lawmakers have begun raising doubts that just one man carried out the killings. "It is not possible for only one American soldier to come out of his base, kill a number of people far away, burn the bodies, go to another house and kill civilians there, then walk at least 2 kilometers and enter another house, kill civilians and burn them," said Abdul Rahim Ayubi, a lawmaker from Kandahar province. He noted that the houses targeted were more than one mile apart. Kandahar parliamentarian Mullah Sayed Mohammed Akhund told?The Wall Street Journal that local villagers witnessed more than one solider during the night and Afghan soliders said they heard simultaneous shootings coming from different locations. While U.S. officials insisted that there's no evidence suggesting more than one shooter,?The Journal notes that the U.S. Embassy in Kabul seemed to open the possibility that additional accomplices could be involved with a statement saying?"the individual or individuals responsible for this act will be identified and brought to justice."

RELATED: Karzai's Peace Talks Will Be With Pakistan, Not Taliban

A trial?In a dispatch from Kabul, the Pakistani newspaper?Dawn?reports the Afghan parliament is demanding a public trial in Afghanistan for the U.S. soldier or soliders involved. According to reports, the U.S.?soldier?was heavily-armed and walked off the base with night vision goggles, breaking into three homes in the methodical killing spree.??We seriously demand and expect that the government of the United States punish the culprits and try them in a public trial before the people of Afghanistan,? Afghanistan's lower house of parliament said in statement.

Boiling resentment With an assist from Agence France Presse,?Dawn reports on further resentment from Afghan citizens. At the scene of the killings one woman screamed "May God kill the only son of Karzai, so he feels what we feel.? For his part, Karzai has said ?The government and the people of Afghanistan demand an explanation from the United States government of this incident." The Taliban insurgency, meanwhile, have vowed to avenge the deaths of the citizens in a statement on their website condemning the "sick-minded American savages" who carried out the attack. Calling the massacre a "blood-soaked and inhumane crime" the group said it would "take revenge from the invaders and the savage murders for every single martyr."?

?

Calls for an early exit?The killings have also sparked calls for a swift U.S. exit from the country, reports Reuters. "We have benefited little from the foreign troops here but lost everything - our lives, dignity and our country to them," a Kandahar shop owner told the news service. Diplomatically, the main problem a new uprising poses is the collapse of a partnership agreement with Kabul and Washington for the departure of foreign troops in 2014. A University student says?"The Americans said they will leave in 2014. They should leave now so we can live in peace." The 19-year-old adds?"Even if the Taliban return to power our elders can work things out with them. The Americans are disrespectful."

Fuse Theater Review: ?Monsters!? ? A Pleasant Musical about ...

The musical wheels out well-trodden jokes about growing old while supplying all the usual greeting card life lessons (live each moment as if it were your last!).

Monsters! A Midlife Musical Meltdown. Book by Gail Phaneuf. Music and Lyrics by Gail Phaneuf and Ernie Lijoi. Directed by Jerry Bisantz and Gail Phaneuf. Music Direction by John Kramer. At the Regent Theatre, Arlington, MA, through March 10.

By Alyssa Hall

Monsters! A Midlife Musical Meltdown is more a feel-good birthday celebration than a surprise party dead set on defying mortality. This original entertainment by New Englanders is refreshing because it features women in their 40s, a rarity for musicals, but otherwise the production at Arlington?s Regent Theatre sticks to the nice and predictable.

On Sam?s 40th birthday, as she considers quitting her Wall Street job to be an archaeologist in Peru, her inner demons (Apathy, Fear, and Body) appear to torment her in order to make her turn away from following her dreams. As this crisis unfolds, the show wheels out well-trodden jokes about growing old while supplying all the usual greeting card life lessons (live each moment as if it were your last!).

Monsters! premiered in 2006 at the CentAstage in Boston and received two industry reads in New York in 2008. Though the show has been revised since those earlier presentations, the first act could still use more tinkering. The opening scenes, laden with exposition between Sam and her mother, drag and would have been more interesting if done via song, especially since the introduction of each of Sam?s monsters takes up the entire act. As a result, Sam, an indecisive character with a wet-blanket personality, spends most of the time reacting to everyone else?s criticisms instead of taking hold and driving the plot forward faster.

Luckily, the addition of each new cast member, the appearance of a mysterious, possibly bomb-containing gift, and the arrival of an unsolicited, singing birthday telegram girl ratchet up the energy, pushing Samantha into unhinged paranoia in the second act -? inspiring amusingly zany antics, such as having the Birthday Girl chased around the apartment with a bathrobe belt.

The characters are personifications as stereotypes (take, for example, Apathy as a frumpy, constantly eating 40-something and Body as a nitpicking, disapproving, male gay stylist), but the six-person cast ? with agreeable voices and plenty of chutzpah ? grabs onto those few traits and plays them up for pleasant laughs.

In the wrong hands, hesitant and increasingly paranoid Sam could be seen as scarily crazy or pathetically hopeless. Emily Browder Melville keeps her sympathetic rather than irritating by portraying her as sweet, silly, and confused. In some respects, the vagueness of Sam?s character makes it easier for us to see ourselves in her plight and commiserate, which, judging from the giggles and comments from the older people in the crowd, many enjoyed doing.

Other cast members are equally successful at distracting us from the shallowness of their characters. Jennifer Fogarty, as Birthday Girl, mixes na?ve, wide-eyed charm and earnestness with self-confident physicality to portray the ?experienced psychology major? who comes to sing and stays to diagnose Sam?s phobias.

Lisa Beausoleil menaces melodramatically as the monster Fear, waving kitchen knives with glee and ominously predicting certain doom in ?You Don?t Want to Know.? This campy approach fits with her creatively over-the-top, crazy bag-lady outfit: colorful, mismatched clothes, thick, badly applied makeup, poofed, frizzy hair, and shopping cart full of odd props like giant sunglasses and crystal balls. Her circus-act showmanship is captivating, but she stops just short of upstaging the rest of the cast.

As for the music, the cute keyboard riffs and lyrics quickly fade from memory after the show ends, but there are some nice harmonies. A few more songs such as semi-serious ?Half of a Life,? when Sam evaluates her life decisions and goals, would be welcome. The creators favored more of the purely comic songs like ?Dress Up? (Sam dresses in a mismatched outfit), which don?t particularly tell us anything new about the characters or advance the plot.

Monsters! invites you to a shindig best enjoyed by folks who like getting exactly what they expect for their birthdays. In this case, they get a present that wraps up nicely, even if it is a little rough in places: a lightweight, pleasant musical evening the offers those getting old some bubbly commiseration.
