Greetings!
 
Dave Veale
What an interesting experience! I talked about this in the last issue of Fresh Ideas and now I have the results of my body language analysis to share with you.

I got together with a colleague and fellow Atlantic Canadian, Don Khoury, recently. Don is a nonverbal communication consultant who is now in Boston running Body Language TV. He has received some great press recently because of his huge success in predicting winning candidates in the 2010 Gubernatorial races - based on their body language in electoral debates!

Don Khoury giving Dave the scoop.

I showed Don video footage of a short talk I gave right after Robin Sharma's presentation last month. Don analyzed it and came up with recommendations on how to improve how I communicate my message.

Did I meet my objectives? Was I wearing the right colour tie? Did my body language say what I actually meant to say? Here's part of our conversation we had about my body language.

WATCH Don's analysis of my body language.
(comments are welcome - be kind!)

Thank you for your feedback. It helps us choose our interviewees so we can continue to bring you relevant and sage advice and fascinating stories from the leaders around us. Keep the feedback coming!

Chris Brogan has a fascinating approach to social media, business and connecting. Here is a recent blog post by Chris about developing your 'inner coach'. It rang true for me - I think you'll agree that we can start firing our inner critic and hire our inner coach!

Here's an excerpt from the blog post,
You Are So Stupid
:

The best book I ever read to help with self-esteem was titled (aptly enough) Self-Esteem: A Proven Program of Cognitive Techniques for Assessing, Improving, and Maintaining Your Self-Esteem . In that book, I learned how to fire my inner critic and then I decided to hire an inner coach. The critic, you know all too well.

Your inner critic is the person who makes you feel bad about yourself before someone else sneaks in and does it for you. They tell you that your diet won't work because you've already tried diets before. They tell you that you're not all that attractive, and that he won't like you, long before you've even worked on getting the date. In short, the inner critic is a real bastard.
