The Value Of An Hour

When I was 21 years old, a gentleman asked me what I thought value of an hour was. I honestly did not know how to answer question. He went on to teach me one of most valuable lessons I have ever learned.

He suggested that value of an hour was priceless. This confused me some, so this is what he said to me.

'If you invest one hour each day in understanding yourself and your environment better, you will accumulate nine 40-hour weeks over course of a year!'

Yikes!

As you can imagine I was blown away when he put it to me that way.

Nine 40- hour weeks? This seemed impossible until I did math.

365 days, times one hour each is...yup, nine 40-hour weeks!

He went on to ask me how good I could get at something if I did it all day, every day for just over 2 months. Well, you already know answer to that.

I thought I could be awesome!

Four Different Ways People Process Your Information

There are four different ways that audience members assimilate information. They are: visual, auditory, auditory digital, and kinesthetic. While all members of audience will process information utilizing all four of these approaches at different times, each audience member will individually will individually tend to rely on one of these approaches more than other three.

Visual: These people memorize and learn by seeing pictures and are less distracted by noise than others. They often have difficulty remembering and are bored by long, verbal presentations because their minds will wander. They are interested in how your presentation looks. They like it when you use words like “see, look, envision, imagine, and picture” in your presentation as these words encourage them to make pictures in their minds.
