I speak on the subjects of confidence building, assertiveness, finding your passion in life, motivation, turning your dreams into realities, and sales training. Here is how I dress for these events...

I believe if I was in your audience, I'd be sure not to doze off. I wouldn't be so sure you wouldn't have a Derringer in your pocket to fire off at the ceiling when the topic get long and drawn out and folks go a bit sleepy on ya. I know that get me back on track of following the speaker. Maybe give it a try, using blanks of course.
 

Well, you look very debonair. I like it.
As, I have also noticed some of your musings, down in the everything else section.
And, kudos to you also, for being one that looks to lift up his fellow man and woman! Good on you!

Thank You.

I worked in business management for many years. I discovered along the way that many talented people were diagnosed as clinicly depressed. I started to think about it and I realized that people measure success almost solely on the amount of money they have. What they need to do is measure success by their accomplishments. From their list of accomplishments, they can build confidence and start to accumulate wealth, too.

I have made it my mission to help people become positive thinkers and learn all about themselves through self-actualization techniques. It starts with making lists, writing their goals, and other things (hence the name of the book: Get Happy, Write Away).

A six-shot, single-action revolver I have, but no Derringer. I used to be very intrigued by them, though. I do feel that if I had to rely on a pistol shot to wake my audience, I'd need a new line of work. :D
 

Yes but you are missing your rifle!

The English took the family castle, but, that was a long time ago.

Seriously, Enniskillin. The family occupied it for 450 years.
 

Where I worked we had a "motivational speaker" come in to do whatever they are supposed to do. After it was over I asked our Administrative Officer what she thought of his presentation. Her response was, "He was a little too chipper for my liking". Cracked me up! :)
 

Real nice duds buddy.... I'm just a jean and tee shirt guy. I was a production worker most of my life so I didn't "need" fancy threads. But 4 years before I retired I had a "new" idea developed from a learned understanding while working production 27 years. Then the company mandated it across North America and I was pulled from production and flown around to explain this new methodology. So I had to get some fancy duds and actually shave everyday before taking the podium and explaining. Standing up front with my new duds a laser pointer and my PowerPoint programs displayed on a screen as big as my house took a little getting used to. After 4 years I retired and now I'm back into jeans, t-shirts and a 3 day growth trolling T-net.

But ya look great buddy...

maybe i should look into that book. I'm clinically depressed too. might be worth a shot.

Couple times a year I get some training and those instructors do things like smack the table incorporated in their teaching when their long drawn out speaking goes over the falls. I'm sure you don't need to do any of that. I do like your theology and it sound like some good listening.:thumbsup:

I had a lady in one place ask me why I was so happy all the time. I told her that happiness is a state of mind, not a state of being. If you love what you are doing, it really helps a bunch.

If you do, feel free to ask me any questions you like. The book helps you discover things about yourself and establish goals that will help you have the life you really want.
 

cool, wonder if my cuz,Ggma is related to you, Ggma maiden name was McGuire, her Gdad
came from Ireland , i like your duds too
McGuire (surname) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[h=1][/h]

The name has been written McGuire and Maguire in my family for generations. We had lots of relatives in Northern Ireland... still have cousins there. In the USA, they settled in New York City (Bronx, mostly). If you ever heard of any family members performing on Broadway, in NYC, then, very likely they'd be related.

I plan to continue writing books and speaking with audiences until I'm pushin' up daisies. I'm happy to hear that you had the opportunity to travel a bit and do the presentations. There is an art to speaking and doing presentations. I've really enjoyed doing presentations and teaching seminars. I did a lot of that in the fly fishing business for years. I set down the fly rod and tying tools and started writing more.
 

i dont know if he came by way of NY to PA.
 

I worked for this huge maritime company. Every month there was a safety meeting and if anyone fell asleep during the meeting, they were fired on the spot. I never get sleepy in my job but I swear2g I would start dozing off in the meetings and the guys around me would have to jab me in the back or side to keep me from passing out.
