Communication -- The Vibration of Who You Are - To put personnal communication into perspective, it's helpful to recall an Emerson quote: "What you do shouts so loudly in my ears I can't hear a word you're saying." That sheds light on why lovers don't have to speak to each other when they are so deeply in love. Silence speak volumes. There is a gigantic difference in communicating with words that are not your truth and communicating from the deepest part of your being. Even if people don't agree with you, they will listen to you, because you are authentically real. Truth has power. A clear example of that comes from the life of Swami Vivekananda. Addressing the Parliament of Religions in Chicago, on September 11, 1893, Vivekananda looked out on the crowd of seven thousand people. Most of these people had never heard or seen a Hindu monk before. But when he addressed them with the words: "Sisters and Brothers of America..." the whole audience went into an unexplainable divine rapture--a standing ovation that lasted for more than three minutes.

Communicating with Difficult People - In the early 1960s, tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union were at an all time high. Fear of all-out nuclear war was a concern for the whole world. That was the backdrop when President Kennedy spoke at American University on June 10, 1963. In this speech Kennedy called on the Soviet Union to work with the United States to achieve a nuclear test ban treaty and help reduce the considerable international tensions and the specter of nuclear war on the horizon.

Public Speaking--More Than Just Words - When public speaking transcends the utterance of mere words to a communication of who the person is behind the words, with feeling and passion, then speaking becomes inspirational.
