Article Public Speaking Dramatise Your Opening
Article Public Speaking Dramatise Your Opening By Laurie Smale People tell me time and time again that one of the biggest difficulties they face with public speaking is getting through those first couple of minutes unscathed!

Magic Minute Behind a Book’s Cover
My quirky loveable mother was something else!
Widowed when she was 23 with three little boys under 4 in far away Donald, she battled through thick and thin to keep us together.
When I was around 3, something remarkable happened while my mum was boiling the washing in the copper in the back yard.
In the 1940s, most homes had a humble copper; a big fire-heated recepticle with a copper insert in which the washing would be boiled and moved around with a big stick.
