Mastering Public Speaking – When Should We Allow Questions?
Posted by: | Comments
When mastering public speaking this question often arises:
“When do I allow questions?”
Different public speakers allow questions at different parts of the presentation; but although there is no right or wrong way, the majority of speakers take questions only at the end. When mastering public speaking, you’ll want to decide the best time.

Ever visited a Kenyan School?
Posted by: | CommentsWhile in Kenya, we visited a local private school called “Little Roots”.
It educates children from the ages of 2.5 years all the way up to 17 years.
We met the head teacher, Mary.
She says she’s 64. She looks 50!
Here’s some of the youngest children at the school:
Lovely Mary. All smiles. Loves her work, loves the children.
Mary tells us that some of the children live at the school, some come from afar, travelling for 1.5 hours just to get there.
School starts at 8am and finishes at 6pm.
When are you going to start enjoying your spare time?
Posted by: | Comments
We all live in a very busy world, don’t we?
We jump from one task to another to another with no spare time in between.
Many of us don’t enjoy time for ourselves.
If you look at the stats, the number of personal breakdowns is rising. The number of cases of divorce is rising
Why?
Because we don’t have time for ourselves or our other half.
People work and take care of their duties thinking that they don’t need a break. They find that finishing a task is more imperative than giving themselves a moment’s breather. They continue to trudge through life, until one day, they simply collapse and lose control.
Arriving at our Kenyan Hotel

the hotel pool
The welcome at our hotel was great. Everyone welcomed us with big smiles and an ice cold cocktail!
A simple check-in and we were in our room. It was immaculate. Three minutes later our suitcases arrived.
We unpacked. We showered.
We walk excitedly towards the pool. It’s 27 degrees C. Lovely!
Loads of free empty sun beds.
We settled down and enjoyed the sun.
Literally within minutes, a smiley waitress appears.
“JAMBO!”
“Drink?”
Drinks by the pool, followed by lunch by the pool.
Then a little siesta under an umbrella.

Arriving in Kenya

Our hotel awaits us!
To successfully get through the Kenyan customers, we had to complete 5 different forms.
Five!
Each one of them asking for similar information including passport number and place of stay while in Kenya.
But it didn’t actually take that long to get through the customers. It was pretty efficient and within an hour we were on the coach with our suitcases.
But I must tell you about getting our suitcases on the coach.
No exaggeration!
Ten meters before the coach, a holiday rep took our cases, handed them to the driver and said, “Give me tip”.
