The 5 Laws of Public Speaking (PEACE)
Public speaking will allow you to attract more clients, generate unlimited leads, grow your business effortlessly, and change the world with your words. You have to be visible to sell, and the best way is to start speaking in public is by using the 5 Laws of Public Speaking or the acronym P-E-A-C-E.
P is for Prepare.
Prepare before you speak! This one idea will set you above the rest. Most business presenters bore us all to tears and wonder why they don’t get any business. It’s because they didn’t prepare enough! If you haven’t been speaking your signature talk a lot, then you’ll need to spend more time preparing in the beginning. Once you’ve got your talk down, you’ll still want to review it.
Before every single talk, I prepare. I prepare my notes, handouts, and PowerPoint; and I write down exactly what my intentions are and what I want from my audience. This is your purpose statement. Write it before you even write down your first word. In a business talk it should be to persuade, not to inform or entertain or inspire, although those can be a secondary purpose. Your primary purpose is to persuade. Read the rest of this entry »
Public Speaking and The Law of Rhythm
As we go through life we all have highs and lows. We have our good days and our bad days. We have successes and we have failures. This is what the Law of Rhythm is and teaches us. We see this in nature where the ocean has high tides and low tides. The sun rises in the morning and it sets in the evening. Within ourselves we have good times and we have bad times intellectually, emotionally and physically. Knowing this life is much easier to handle and we can still do our best.
This of all the laws is best explained by using some of the other laws. When we look at the rhythm of good and bad we are witnessing the Law of Polarity. They are only good or bad in how we relate to them with the Law of Rhythm. Because things go in cycles of change the Law of Perpetual Transmutation comes into play. At the core of this is the Law of Vibration where we attract what we think about – both good and bad. So when we are on a downswing we also know that an upswing is coming.
When it comes to public speaking I have coached students through the bad time where they feared getting up in front of an audience to the point where they have given a great speak and experience little or no fear. But to do this I had to understand and experience the Law of Rhythm myself. I had to understand that when I gave a bad speech that a good speech was on the way. Because I understand this law it allows me to help others. Read the rest of this entry »
Understanding Private And Public International Law
Private international law is a sector of international law that oversees all legal entanglements that involve foreign law elements. Private international law is also referred to as conflict of laws, as international law usually trumps federal or national laws if there is conflict and the countries in question have signed an agreement to submit to an international ruling.
Private international law determines, if there is a conflict of laws, who has jurisdiction over the specific case and which laws are to be applied by the country that is given jurisdictional rights.
This type of law has been practiced by ages, and was first implemented by the Romans, who established a tribunal to reside over cases brought by foreign states that had a conflict of laws with regards to a criminal, etc. the Roman courts might decide to apply the law of one nation over both Roman law and the other nation.
Thus, private international law is largely used to settle disputes between foreign countries; however, awarding a case to one may mean a backlash from the other. Because of this, international rulings often take into consideration the reality of the situation with regards to international law, and may come to a decision that both countries legal factors are okay with.
