I arrived in Edinburgh, my favourite UK city, and was invited by my co-presenter
Clark Cunningham to join him at a story telling evening. My first reaction was " What?" But I went and what a great evening. People told stories, sang and played music at the
Scottish story Telling Centre on the Royal Mile
I lady sang, her name is Phyllis Davison who lives half the time in Edinburgh and half in Ontario, Canada.
She sang us a song and we all had to learn the chorus
And so the stories do unfold
As we grow from young to old
We live a chapter every day
Discovering a various way
I really was looking for an excuse not to go this evening ...but as I tell all delegates
IF YOU DON'T GO, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW!
Most people are somewhere between a touch anxious and petrified when they attend events, social or business, and have to meet new people. I have discovered the secret to overcome this problem. It is all about focusing on the right person. People tend to be self-conscious, self aware spend too long thinking ‘How do I look, how will I come across, will I be interesting, etc. When you put al your energy, into focusing on others you will find the nerves disappear. Why? Because you will have no time for this self-centred thinking. I have written a full article on this topic. Email will@kintish.co.uk if you’d like it.
