Living Life Full Throttle

Today was a long day. I had to get up at 6:30am to be at morning event downtown by 8am. It was hosted by EO, formerly known as YEO and WEO.

THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES: Do you really know how your listeners perceive you as a leader and communicator?

Come find out how YOU are truly perceived as we focus on honest self awareness, concentrating on authority, energy and the ability to connect in a likeable manner. Speakeasy Inc. Expert, Dr. Leah Lorendo, will help each of us become significantly more aware and more effective of these attributes in this morning session.

I found it interesting that they said that most people fear public speaking more than death. What I really got out of it was to make sure that my body language, my voice and my message were all congruent. To really look people in the eye and to be present with them.

Of course, I think that I do that, yet I can easily recall at least 3 times today that I was typing emails while being on the phone with someone talking... I looked at my Blackberry as if I was expecting a baby a few times in conversation and I definitely turned my head a couple more times while conversing face to face with someone.

Live and learn. I am no more aware and we'll see how that goes.

I had a nice long phone conversation with Dr. T. Colin Campbell today. He wrote one of my favorite books, "The China Study" .

We were discussing everything from Vitamin B12 to the corruption and politics of the food industry. I love that guy...

I drank 16 oz of fresh OJ from Organic Avenue
Then had three blood oranges and then a some flax seed crackers and lettuce sandwich. I would love something sweet right now, but I don't eat after midnight...

There is a lot of action at AdBrite. The company is growing, my deals are closing and spending. At 11:23pm, we received the Insertion Order for a deal that we have been working on for several weeks. This was definitely turn a lemon into lemonade deal. I must have spoken to Doreen from AdBrite a dozen times today.

She is "full throttle" and a joy to work with. We see an occasional spark and I like the bright light.

I am also on the NY Board of NFTE, and we had a great board meeting this evening. There are so many things to work on and NFTE is amazing. It inspires me.

I actually recommended the org to a client last night and he's eager to get down.

So this day has gone past the 18 hour mark. I am wide awake and will tackle a few more things before I meditate and call it an night.

namaste.
