It's the eve of the election and It's up to you.
It was on The Specials' album "live at the Moonlight Club" that deadpan frontman, Terry Hall said in his broad West Midlands accent "I haven't got much to say tonight. It's the eve of the election , and it's up to you." (my favourite band of all time, by the way)
This was recorded on 3rd May 1979, the day before one Margaret Thatcher swept to power, amongst unrest all around the UK, huge unemployment figures, and a crippling recession. Could this be déjà vu, déjà entendu, déjà senti?
Unfortunately nothing much has changed in 31 years, no matter who I voted for in the past the Government always got in - and this is limited by the nonsensical electoral system that promotes the duopoly of power, which the two main parties want to keep that way, until now that is.....
The prospect of a hung parliament is quite possible (in my opinion hanging is way too good for them - besides who's going to pay for the rope?) and I really relish the thought that these people who have put themselves in front of me to be elected can really get to earn their money by learning to communicate more effectively than ever before. In many other countries "hung" parliaments work - though if you'd believe the Daily Mail, this will cause the whole of the UK to get cancer and lower our house prices and encourage mass immigration through the tunnel who will take all our jobs.
At last a chance for politicians to show us they can communicate with each other and get on with it.
So
Do you want Change to affect you?
or
Do you want to effect Change?
It's as simple as that
I know what I want, so now as Terry says...It's up to you.
It's Up To You
Dammers / Hall / Panter / Golding / Bradbury / Staples / Byers
What you gonna do, when guests drop in on you?
We won't go away, 'cos we've come out to stay
Stand there like parked cars if you want to
We can't force you to enjoy this music
Take it or leave it we'll carry on regardless
If you don't like it you don't have to use it
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
Looks like a case of the blind leading the deaf to me
You must be bored out of your pants
Take it or leave it we'll carry on regardless
If you don't like it you don't have to dance
It's up to you, up to you, black
It's up to you, up to you, white
It's up to you, up to you, unite
It's up to you, up to you, or fight
In London town you can hear the youth them say "Take warning"
It's up to you what you really wanna do
For you were standing on the corner giving trouble
When the policeman come he say you have to move on the double, yeah
So, steppin' up the street with my little rude girl
With her 'stay-pressed' to her ankles
It's up to her what she really wants to do
It's up to you, you and strictly you and you
What you gonna do, when morons come for you?
They won't go away, they want the whole world painted grey
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you
It's up to you, up to you

The United States of a Presenter
“The United States of a Presenter.”
April 24th & 25th at The Holiday Inn, Gatwick Airport. RH6 0BA
Have you ever been in the presence of someone who managed to capture your attention and captivate your imagination to such an extent it seemed as though they were speaking to you directly? It’s as if they move you from one state to another with such effortless skill. The age-old adage is so true, that it isn’t what you say – it’s the way you say it!
In this world there are many great orators and whether we agree with their content or not, we can appreciate they can get their point across in a very convincing way. Even more importantly these skills can be learnt by anyone who wants to have more presence when they communicate with other people.
In a fun packed weekend where
• You will learn to structure your presentation in a way that holds the audience’s attention and delivers the key objectives.
• Your ability to communicate will be enhanced through developing your language to keep the audiences’ interest.
• You will learn platform skills to enrich the presentation for maximum impact to your audience.
• Special attention is devoted to voice, timing and spatial awareness in order for your key objectives to be delivered seamlessly.
Good news and best of all, you will not find a PowerPoint presentation anywhere on this course.
This course is aimed at:
- Anyone that presents
- Anyone that would like to feel confident speaking in public
- Directors and Managers who want to be able to get their message across more easily
- People wanting to develop sales & marketing skills
- For interviewers and interviewees
- People Managers
- Anyone that would like to interact socially more easily
- For coaches
- For therapists
- And even for a wedding - whether that be best man, groom, father of the bride or of course the bride herself.
All this for the fantastic price of only £297
To book or for further details click the "Contact Me" button on the left hand side and I will get back to you as soon as possible

So what are we seeing anyway?
I was reading a few pages of a book today. As usual I meant to read much more than that, and I came across a great quote from Anaïs Nin. She said "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."
It got me thinking a little bit about the interesting situation that is being heavily reported in the UK at the moment in relation to the supposed pandemic of Influenza A H1N1, also less catchingly titled "Swine Flu."
By all means from what is reported, this outbreak is serious enough to be brought to our attention, but the purveyors of doom AKA most parts of the popular the media, use language so vague and intangible, that in order to understand what they have written or broadcast, us mere mortals have to go inside our brains and make reference points to events of our past to make any sense of what is written. This in turn causes us to change our state, and before you know it, a huge amount of people are panicking. Very soon we see things as we are, i.e. in the new less resourceful state, unable to put everything into perspective.
Just wanted to leave you with a small thought. How many times, when you have been feeling great have you had to make a decision - it's relatively easy to make isn't it? So, how many times have you had to make a decision when you have been seriously stressed - a little less easy I would guess. This is because your brain, rather helpfully goes into a state known as fight or flight, which in turn shuts off adequate access to large portions of your brain which would be used for logical, emotion free thought.
So what are you doing to change you state? Maybe you'll see, hear, feel, smell and taste things differently.
