There are four essential elements that you need to master ifyou are ever going to be a successful public speaker andfully engage with your audience.

Eye Contact

Over 80% of your impact is going straight into your audiences eyes...so look at them...not the floor or the
walls or the ceiling or at your visual aids...look at the people.

I ran into some old friends last weekend, and immediately I felt a new sense of energy - catching my 'second wind' after a rather tiring morning. I think this happened for two reasons: one, simply because I was happy to see them, and two, because they're very successful.

I won't get into the types of successes they've achieved, because that's irrelevant: we all carry different
definitions of success in different areas (finance, health, leadership, relationships, all of the above...). The point is that these people make me want to be my best.

So you have decided to lose weight. Great!

Why do you want to lose weight?

- to live a healthy and disease-free life
- to look younger and more attractive
- to feel more confident about yourself
- to gain popularity in social circles
- to be able to wear the clothes of your choice
- to live a more active life
- to enjoy life in full, etc.

When I speak, I often engage the audience, working interactively. Why? Because I know that the more we engage all our senses (not just our ears) when we hear new material, the more it helps us to anchor that new material within us. I also know that anchored information will more likely be used when we return to our offices. Instructional designers call this "transfer of training." Proving that what we teach is actually taken and used in someone's work is the holy grail of professional training.

Are you the same person who used to be in 2009? If you do not change yourself then you will remain the same person even after ten years.

I just want to remind you that 31 days of the (new) year 2010 have passed away. A whole month is behind us. It’s time to review your progress.

What changes you have brought in your life since January 1? It is quite possible that you may have forgotten the pledges you made to yourself!

It’s true that old habits die hard but you must strive hard to change your bad habits into good ones. This is the only way you can succeed in life.

Positive thinking requires you to be hopeful and confident in most if not all cases. This is something which you can
expand by incessant practice. Positive thinking and an optimistic attitude can absolutely create an enhancement on
your character. Being mentally positive helps you amplify the level of self esteem, which in turn can improve your
self self-confidence and also helps in keeping you healthier. People who think, and act, positively sense an emotion of fulfillment in whatever they do and hence tend to be happier in life and career.

Master the simple art of goal setting and getting and you could find your life turned on its head (in a very positive sense of course!) Here are four of my favourite tips:

1. Dream in Technicolour!

By this I mean 'get detailed'.

It simply won't work if you set vague goals. While your conscious mind deals with the many demands of day-to-day life, your subconscious mind will try to manifest, or bring into reality, anything that you imagine with sufficient clarity and emotional connection! If your goals lack substance, your subconscious simply won't have enough to work with.

Once Thanksgiving and Christmas are near, we realize that another year has come and gone. As we look back, we realize that there were many things that we wanted to accomplish in 2009, yet they somehow did not come to fruition.
