24.01.2022 You can’t have an agenda, Joel Peterson, the chairman of JetBlue Airways and founder of Peterson Partners, an investment firm, told me.

23.01.2022 Joe Biden delivered an impassioned, genuine and statesmanlike performance in his 15:00 minute election victory speech in winning the presidency of the United States. Biden's performance brings to mind the quote I mention often, from the poet Horace: 'If you want me to weep you already must be deeply grieved.'

20.01.2022 If you're like everyone I know - you, on occasion, insert an 'um' or an 'ah' filler syllable into your speaking. If the 'ums' and 'ahs' are infrequent, they usually won't be noticed by your listener and won't distract the listener from your messages. However, when your 'ums', 'ahs' become noticeable and/or when people start counting the number of [ 362 more words ] https://michaelkelly.com.au/how-to-reduce-your-ums-ahs-whe/

19.01.2022 You may know of former heavyweight boxer, Mike Tyson's famous quotation - "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."** I mention this quotation, because being questioned by an aggressive audience member at the Q&A time of presentation you're delivering - can seem like being punched in mouth.

12.01.2022 Over the weekend I read an excellent Masterclass article by Anthony Mitchell in the Australian Financial Review. In the article one tip Mitchell shared, is that leaders need to face up to digital communications and be acutely aware of their facial expression and voice tone.

09.01.2022 Once again Barack Obama gave a pitch-perfect, luminary presentation at the 2020 United Stage Democratic National Convention.

06.01.2022 You may have a job interview coming up. In today's environment you will often have a larger number of competitors for a position that previously.

"I wouldn't be chief executive of Dexus today if I didn't have the learnings over a 30-year period.
