The Book on Public Speaking

Topher Morrison

Summary

If you look at the trends of over 30 years ago in fashion, technology, architecture, and any other industry, what was cutting edge back then has become cliché and grossly out of date now. But in the speaking industry, most people get up and still walk, talk, and sound like the 1980’s motivational speakers of yesteryear. The Book on Public Speaking takes a head-on approach and challenges the status quo for business leaders that speak in front of their staff, board of directors, and the public. After reading this book you will be privy to the most current methods for speaking to an audience for maximum impact in today’s more sophisticated and skeptical culture. If you are the type of business leader who has achieved a level of success in life and feel compelled to share your story with the world, don’t lessen that impact by imitating out-dated speaking techniques. Instead, break the mold of the speaker cliché and tap into a speaking style that is authentic, packs a punch, and leaves the audience wanting more.

O’Rourke, author of Parliament of Whores and How the Hell Did This Happen? leads us on a hysterical whirlwind world tour from the “good capitalism” of Wall Street to the “bad socialism” of Cuba in search of the answer to an age-old question: “Why do some places prosper and thrive, while others just suck?” With stops in Albania, Sweden, Hong Kong, Moscow, and Tanzania, O’Rourke takes a look at the complexities of economics with a big dose of the incomparable wit that has made him one of today’s most refreshing commentators.   “O’Rourke has done the unthinkable: he’s made money funny.” —Forbes FYI   “[O’Rourke is] witty, smart and—though he hides it under a tough coat of cynicism—a fine reporter . . .

Out of Poverty - What Works When...

Paul Polak

An “exciting” new approach to lifting people out of poverty that rejects the ineffective top-down mindset (Steve Wozniak, confounder of Apple Computer).   Based on his twenty-five years of experience, Paul Polak explodes what he calls the “Three Great Poverty Eradication Myths”: that we can donate people out of poverty; that national economic growth will end poverty; and that big business, operating as it does now, will end poverty.    Polak shows that programs based on these ideas have utterly failed—in fact, in sub-Saharan Africa, poverty rates have actually gone up. These failed top-down efforts contrast sharply with the grassroots approach Polak and his organization International Development Enterprises have championed: helping the dollar-a-day poor earn more money through their own efforts. Amazingly enough, unexploited market opportunities do exist for the desperately poor. Polak describes how he and others have identified these opportunities—and have developed innovative, low-cost tools that have helped in lifting seventeen million people out of poverty.

Methods to Overcome the...

Dr. Hidaia Mahmood Alassouli

Online shopping and online money transfer has become an urgent necessity for all citizens of the world. One of the difficulties I encountered in electronic money transfer and online shopping is the financial blockade against the Palestinians.
It is surprising although the electronic currency transfer has become the trend of the century with the developments of crypto currency block chain technology, central and decentralized platforms, and unlimited digital currency wallets, which reflects the extent of progress in currency conversion in this era. Most cryptocurrency platforms do not discriminate people on the basis of location or nationality. Everyone has the right to open account with them, and every person is responsible for securing his account. On the contrary, you find large websites that operate with a sterile racist mentality, such as PayPal, Skrill and others that ban residents of the Palestinian Authority areas just because they are Palestinians. For example, PayPal is the most important electronic wallet for electronic payment, is prohibited only for the residents of the Palestinian territories. And if we open accounts outside Palestine, the account will be closed immediately.
And there are also other large sites that follow the same policy as Skrill and eBay. I also surprised that most of the electronic banks or electronic wallets that deal in the fiat currencies such as USD and EURO refuse to activate the accounts of the Palestinians. With the exception of cryptocurrency platforms so far, they do not put obstacles against the Palestinians.
And even the banks and wallets that agree to open accounts to Palestinian people, they do not support withdrawals to a Palestinian banks, whether in euros, dollars, or any other currency.
Other difficulty I encountered that the electronic banks and wallets that deal only with fiat currencies such as USD and EURO require that you not don't deposit, withdraw , or deal through the account with any digital crypto currency platforms. In the event of making money transfer with any digital crypto currency platform, the account will be suspended. So the electronic banks and wallets that only support the fiat currencies for withdrawal and deposit consider digital currencies as suspicious and prohibited currencies.
Also most websites don't accept ordering Visa/Master Card to Palestine region.
Hence, I ask all concerned parties around the world to work to stop the discrimination and siege against the Palestinians by banks and electronic wallets.
In this report I will provide Summary of the difficulties I encountered in electronic money transfer and online shopping due to the financial blockade against the Palestinians. And I will present some methods to overcome the financial and money transfer blockade against Palestine and similar countries facing from same issue. This report consists from the following parts:

Beyond Measure - The Big Impact...

Margaret Heffernan

A powerful manifesto for CEOs and employees alike: Influential and award-winning business leader Margaret Heffernan reveals how organizations can build ideal workplace cultures and create seismic shifts by making deceptively small changes.By implementing sweeping changes, businesses often think it’s possible to do better, to earn more, and have happier employees. So why does engagement prove so difficult and productivity so elusive?In Beyond Measure, Margaret Heffernan looks back over her decades spent overseeing different organizations and comes to a counterintuitive conclusion: it’s the small shifts that have the greatest impact. Heffernan argues that building the strongest organization can be accelerated by implementing seemingly small changes, such as embracing conflict as a creative catalyst; using every mind on the team; celebrating mistakes; speaking up and listening more; and encouraging time off from work.Packed with incredible anecdotes and startling statistics, Beyond Measure takes us on a fascinating tour across the globe, highlighting disparate businesses and revealing how they’ve managed to change themselves in big ways through incremental shifts. How did the CIA revolutionize their intelligence gathering with one simple question? How did one organization increase their revenue by $15 million by instituting a short coffee break? How can a day-long hackathon change the culture of a company? Told with wry wit and knowing humor, Heffernan proves that it’s often the small changes that make the greatest, most lasting impact.
