It's it's ah porous vessel it's it's okay, but not great you want to come up with something simple so for in the I would add in to say my hero is my dog if I was your mom how would I feel when I read when I heard that so one way you could do this have so many heroes in my life but I just want to focus on an unusual one right now and that's b he's my dog so I've not alienated all the other teachers and parents and relatives people in history that I've ever been inspired by have included them okay so how can you make the vessel stronger what's the action step what could what could in the spirit of her speech what could make it even something to ask everybody to do till somebody else about your non human hero very good feel tell go tell somebody else that and go tell somebody there a hero to you everybody find one person in your life you could send him a note give me a call I had this exercise in my class and I was supposed to pick somebody that just really admires really kind of a hero to me and you were the person that came to mind how long with one other comment uh cylon suggest to differentiate the hand movements your head wounds were very symmetrical that mirrored each other a lot maybe doing a little bit more up and down yeah okay great all right who wants to go next jack is up who wants to be on deck I richard on deck and then carrie after that world war two thie are dense forest belgium it's mid winter freezing cold hundred and first airborne parachutes in in summer clothes well shivering is the battle of the bulge thousand served thousands died thousands were wounded when you leave here tonight take a moment when you go to the bar hugo parting you're buying drinks with your friend and hoist to drink in their honor what did I do? Well there please is short uh dramatic but in that sense it was just short and sweet and to the point I like that short and sweet thank you. You incorporate more movement like the shivering and the battle that really helps like the movement the steps in every time you change subject to change your position I like the hoist to drink because it's very simple but yet we're all going to drink. And so the next time there's a cup that's raised it's going to make me think of this and the word moist kind of matches the world for dean correct you don't get to use use hoist a lot so when you can all right, well seattle family says on line you did have great language it was very dramatic and it was concise and antonio star saying had a very vivid opening thank you what could I have done to improve and that comes from the er studio audience as well as our online causes could have been longer especially where honestly after each part is I was still picturing the last one when you've moved on and so I missed a couple right walk with me thousands of men served and thousands of men died you want the longest pauses after that but I think in two three four seconds longer ripples the stronger the emotions growing and what could make the action a bit suffer the hoist was great if we can all picture ourselves out of the bar breathe a little bit more next time you're at the bar even tonight at dinner I want all of us to just take your cup and just hold it up for a second and think about those men and women who gave their lives if I may ask what you're doing you can tell him or not tell him but just take that second thing every one of us could do it now because whether it's dinner of the bar and you're anticipating what would the reaction be giving them the tool to handle the reaction all right good job thank you we'll do a few more we'll see if we get him all in if we don't we'll finish the rest of the brake imagine a single mom you know hardworking selfless tired nurturing getting things done the single mom is my hero pick a single mom that you know today and thank her right positives short and sweet I like that it's different it's not a person it's a group it's a category that it was effective to think of the single mom it took some time but it took me a while to zoom and once I got it I was like, oh my gosh like this person is like amazing actually claudia online is saying that they love the pause after the imagine a single mom you know, because it gave me a chance to really picture her thank you it's good very good use of stage space from amara marilou on dream flores saying is very powerful and taking that idea but make it better even more time so I think now that you know it's gonna take twenty ten twenty seconds to think what you think of a single mom a picture her in your right what's her name now for those who haven't pictured you were still coming along with you but we haven't lost anything that you're about to say sure what she has to deal with every day how do you think she feels sometimes so really build that one up yes and then step out into I want you to call that person and thank them tell them what they mean to you how much you admire them I'm not sure what I would be thanking them for but you can tell them what you admire them right or just we're thinking about you today yes good last thoughts for richard I've just experientially I felt all of a sudden it was like what your hands doing here buddy do some with your hands yeah and so just trying to open up maura I think that's still something thank her and give her a call thank er never give her a note one of the suggestion from philip age which I like was give a specific I want to believe he actually knows the person he's talking about excellent that's a go for anything that's great for me it's my friend this from my sisters by this name names but details about them make them feel more real very good another thing is you think of a mother or a single mother you know except you had a pause between mother and you know and so I didn't realize they were connected right that's true and I thought that you know was the weak language oh, I got interesting so yeah, for if first it was just a number of other like it's a category right first this one you know these tiny little things thing that's great. Thank you alright and mary you know possibly I mean depending on who you're talking to could also included single beds that's right a single parents you know that I think that would that would be more punk yeah good. So whenever you create stuff from scratch sometimes his gold like all of the gold but sometimes it's silver it could be gold with just a couple of adjustments and you could do that same one over and over this politicians again I've worked with people from both parties and of all politicians equally but they come up with something that really works and they keep tweaking and then they could do it over and over and over in the stump speech really have a powerful effect. All right gary's up thank you to a couple more so protest will be your last one so I have a hero that you all might have seen on tv everybody knows about him who is this hero? He is batman and the reason he's my hero is because he doesn't have any superpowers he's not like superman and he self trained he's trained himself to have brains and bronze so what I want you to do is pick up your pen, write down one skill that you want to train even if even for those of you who are online one skill whether it's coming communication, karate, swimming one skill and tonight when you go home I want you to look up an online course or a book that will help you with that training and you could become batman now he's just showing off all right thing that I did well movement just batman thing at the beginning and end was uh mona pointed out she's doing what you said right now just looking up that thing that you wanted to learn test that's the test if they do it and if they don't do it then you know you gotta keep tweaking it yeah, anything you didn't you made it personal there is a reason that that manager hero but it's ah it's something that resonates with all of us is how do we improve and you put it into a context gave us something specific to do tow to be better it looked like he didn't have no one to with your hands and then when you got into the superman and sometimes he started loosened up and then it just started to flow that was a really good one superman okay? And kiki italian is saying you started with conviction and she really liked really liked the confidence in your voice great and anything that I can improve a improve on. Well, a lot of people pointed this out gary and I won't name all of them, but they've all saying they're now calling you the so guy they say that the words so comes up a lot in your presentations I must mean, I didn't notice it in that one, but obviously some of our audience did you remember and when you give someone the action, do you know they're gonna hit resistance with the action?

So you'd say all these reasons why they not too you've now laid them all out there can't afford who is time I got other things to do I've got so much work to do those are all there, but I can give you one reason why you should do it invest in yourself you care about everybody else in your life you want to help them or invest in yourself so you have more to give you anticipate their resistance and overcome that with a tool with a mindset with a thought all right let's do a test and then we'll wrap it up this is burning a hole in my pocket you guys imagine somebody offered you money a lot of money, enough money that you would never have to work again now maybe even your children would never have to work again all this just to look the other way would you would you take it?
