Using Web and Audio Conferencing to Avoid the Swine Flu
I know it's not the most pretty picture, but many kids get into a lot worse. If you're a parent you know what I am talking about. I just hope the parent didn't encourage this and it just happened before they could do anything about it.
If you are concerned about the swine flu and want to avoid it. One thing you can do more of is holding your meetings via phone or web conferencing. Not only will it help avoid getting sick, but you might also find you become more productive, save time and reduce costs. Not to mention saving the environment a little. Check out some of the options here on our site.

There seems to be a lot of concern over outsourcing to India and other overseas counties these days. I just watched a most inspirational video on a man from the USA who lost his job as a computer programmer to and Indian company. He traveled to India to get his job back. After watching the entire video it made me realize what great opportunities we have here in the US and Canada and how well we have it.

- Would you like to improve your communication and public speaking skills?
- Worried about your next big presentation?
- How confident are you?
 Do butterflies attack your stomach whenever your asked to speak before a group? Can you confidentally express your thoughts and ideas? Do you have the nerve to ask your boss for a raise? People who get ahead in life are those that who can communicate effectively. Wouldn't you like to develop this priceless skill? Now you can!
These are some excerpts from some of the Toastmasters promotional material. I have been a member of Sunrisers Toastmasters in Nanaimo for about 1.5 years and can easily say that all of the above is true. Being in sales I have done many presentations over the years. I always thought I did a fairly good job at them prior to joining Toastmasters. I now know my presentations and public speaking skills have improved many many times over. When I started I used to say "umm" and "ahhh" a lot and never realized it. I now can easily get through a speech or presentation with ever saying "umm" or "ahhh" once. There are many other improvements I have noticed. I'll update you with more on a future post.
If you are in the Nanaimo area and want to know more about Toastmasters and what is can do for you please visit our club web site at Sunrisers Toastmasters or visit the new web site dedicated to all the clubs in Nanaimo, Nanaimo Toastmasters (www.nanaimotoastmasters.info)Â
