Attended an event promoting
apprenticeships in Rainer Beach. There were 2 young men who talked to the
crowd. They were not practiced public speakers, but they were both excellent first timers. Why?
Focused on giving
good advice the audience could use.
Not platitudes, but straightforward practical experiences,
attitudes and reality.
They were motivational
without trying.
Be ready to learn, work hard, have a good attitude, and show
up on time.
Addressed being
minorities without being victims.
Said it will happen, but not going to ruin my day. They were
thrilled to have good jobs after low paying, go nowhere jobs. Someone else’s
problems were not going to affect them.
After all you grew up being who you are.
Both emphasized it
wasn’t because they were special.
The audience could complete the training and get good jobs
as well. Success came from learning and applying it. They both supported people to take the training
they had.
Very pleased to meet Evan and Gerald last night. Encouraged
both to keep speaking because they cared
about people. They talked and showed
the audience a path to success.
