Organizing your Speech using the Classic "Rule of Three"
I have been a student of business communication, primarily presentations, for three decades and a Toastmaster for two decades. One of the fundamentals of any speech is the way it is organized. The "Rule of Threes" is a classic way to organize, which I explain in this video.
Hobbies and Other Interests
Drone Video
In 2013 and 2014 I spent a lot of my spare time mastering drone videography.
I tried to perfect each flight through repeated runs at different times of the day.
As one might expect, some of the best video was just luck - being in the right place at the right time.
