WHEN I WAS WORKING IN SEVERAL BUSINESSES I WANTED TO GET MORE EXPERIENCE IN PUBLIC SPEAKING. SO IN ONE BUSINESS I MET WITH VARIOUS FOLKS TO SELL MY ARTISTIC FOUNTAINS. I FOUND THAT I ENJOYED SELLING MORE THAN DOING THE ART WORK AS I AM A PEOPLE PERSON NOW.
I CALLED FOR INTEREST AND WENT TO VARIOUS GIFTS SHOPS TO SHOW PHOTOS OF MY CATALOGUE OF FOUNTAINS.
I ALSO LANDED A PART TIME JOB SELLING HEALTH FOODS IN MARKETS. I ENJOYED THIS WORK AS I WAS A PAID CONSULTANT TO SEVERAL COMPANIES. AND SPENT MANY HOURS TALKING TO FOLKS ABOUT GOOD HEALTH AND HEALTHY FOODS AND HOW THEY COULD INCREASE THEIR HEALTH AND LONGEVITY. I GOT IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK FROM FOLKS WHO ENJOYED THESE FOOD SAMPLES. I MET MANY MANAGERS OF THE GROCERY STORES WHO SEEMED TO LIKE ME THERE.
ANOTHER BUSINESS I HAD WAS SPEAKING WEEKLY WITH A BUSINESS NETWORKING GROUP WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO EXPOSE OUR TYPE OF WORK BY SPEAKING TO MEMBERS AND GIVING THEM SOME SAMPLES. MY WORK WAS AS A LIFE COACH AND IT TOOK ME 3 YEARS TO COMPLETE A COACHING COURSE BY PHONE IN ORDER TO GAIN A COACHING DIPLOMA AFTER 3 YEARS. I ADVERTISED MY BY CALLING PHONE IN ORDER TO GAIN A COACHING DIPLOMA AFTER 3 YEARS. I ADVERTISED MY COACHING BY CALLING COMPANY PERSONNEL FOLKS; LEADING TALKS AT LIBRARIES AND FINDING PLACES AS THE BUSINESS MEETING PLACE TO SPEAK TO GROUPS. OTHER GROUPS I SPOKE TO WERE ROTARY CLUBS, LION'S CLUBS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS. THEY GAVE ME GOOD SELF ESTEEM TO MAKE INTERACTIVE PRESENTATIONS .
ANOTHER TYPE OF BUSINESS WAS SPEAKING TO GROUPS ABOUT THE NATIVE AMERICANS OF THIS AREA. I BECAME USED TO GIVING OUTDOOR LECTURES TO ELDERHOSTEL GROUPS AT AT A HEALDSBURG RANCH. I THEN DESIGNED SOME SLIDE SHOWS THAT WERE SIMILAR TO MY NATIVE AMERICAN TALKS. THEY INCLUDED PHOTOS OF VARIOUS TRIBES AND PLANTS THAT I INTRODUCED TO GROUPS. I GOT PAID BY LIBRARIES AND RETIREMENT HOMES, AND SOME NATIVE PLANT CLUBS TO SHOW MY SLIDE LECTURES. PEOPLE GREATLY APPRECIATED THEM.

SINGING TO FEEL GOOD
AT MY CHURCH I ATTENDED A SESSION THAT SAID TO HAVE GOOD FEELINGS WHEN WE SING. THE INTENTION WAS TO SING A SONG THAT MAKES YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE IN GOOD SPIRITS. THAT MORNING WE DID SOME INDIAN CHANTING. I MET A YOUNG GUY WHO DRUMMED AND HE SAID HE HAD LIVED CHEAPLY IN INDIA FOR 5 YEARS. IT WAS INEXPENSIVE AND PEOPLE ARE FRIENDLY. WE DID NOT TRANSLATE AND PEOPLE ARE FRIENDLY . WE DID NOT TRANSLATE THE INDIAN SONGS BUT THEY WERE VERY REPETITIVE. THE NIGHT SESSION WAS ABOUT HOW TO HAVE A GOOD FEELING SINGING IN YOUR CAR! THAT WOULD GOOD AS MANY COMMERCIALS ARE ON THE RADIO. OR YOU COULD SINGALONG WITH A CD IF YOU HAVE IT.
