  • Education gives you ‘choice’ ->use it: find a job you will enjoy and work towards getting your dream job
  • Don’t work for money; don’t make money your God
  • Don’t be afraid to tell yourself the truth
  • Listen to your inner voice: ignore those who say ‘you can’t’
  • Do first the hard things to do, leave the easy for the end
  • Have sense of humor: laugh at yourself
  • Success is the route to reaching your goals, not the goal itself
  • Grow your friends and networks (they narrow naturally)
  • Read and keep yourself informed (decide what source you’ll trust)
  • Broaden your education (do things beyond your expertise area)
  • Do something for your country (but don’t confuse nationalism with being patriotic)
  • Do something for others

  1. Personalize the presentation to the group.
  2. Tell stories; don’t settle for giving the audience just facts.
  3. Identify your own type of humor and use it.
  4. Use emotion when you talk; when you challenge yourself the presentation will take a new life.
  5. Be yourself; do not try to imitate presentation styles of other people.
  6. Find a coach; someone who will also give you sound advice and critique your work.
  7. Practice!
