Taoism

[Typhoid]

Well that spells it out a little better.


Anyway, I read it and don't find anything wrong with the points being made, and the way they're being made. It completely works in my mind, and it makes a lot of sense.

Oh, and public speaking would be a part of it too.

[Typhoid]

Talking about it, making people do it - or you doing it?

[Professor S]

I would be lecturing and running workshops on public speaking. I speak in public for a living, and there is definitely a mix if art and science involved in doing it well. I tend to be more art than science, though.

Do you picture the audience in their underwear?

No, but thats a real technique to fight performance anxiety. I think of every presentation as a conversation rather than a performance, and that helps me from getting the head sweats.

I only picture certain audiences in their underwear. I have mild stage freight, so I can't use note cards because I shake a lot....but I love public speaking. Is that weird?

Anyway, I think incorporating Taoism into a structured course is pretty cool. It is more interesting than boring "Leadership 101."
