David Brooks in Hong Kong
Roughly a hundred intrepid Honky Toasties ventured into Admiralty yesterday to hear the 1990 World Champion of Public Speaking, David Brooks.
How was it? Allow me to quote a fellow member. Her email sums it up nicely:
"The talk was GREAT. It was enriching and inspiring and practical... Most of all, it made me realize that public speaking is not just about techniques and skills and delivery. There's a lot of science, psychology, life experience, and above all, it's a great avenue for personal development."
I've seen David Brooks before. He's one of about five world champions that I've seen present and they are all exemplary. We have so much to learn from them.

David's website has a lot of great resources. He studied journalism and also teaches writing skills. Since I do that too, I read his blog on the written word with interest. Most of what he says is spot on. Some is just for Americans. That stuff on further/farther is not correct, in my book.
