Mark’s ‘Minute Messages’

If you're the smartest person in the room, you have no room to improve.

The way you say 'No' can have a powerful emotional effect, so be careful HOW you say it.

We can do more, give more and be more...if we push ourselves A LITTLE MORE. #keynotespeaker #speechcoaching #performanceexcellence #peakperformance #effectiveleadership #effort

MINUTE MESSAGE: CONTEXT is KEY! Don't 'pull the trigger of offense' too quickly. #keynotespeaker #speechcoaching #performanceexcellence #peakperformance #effectiveleadership #context

Let's be humble and not conceited, arrogant, and filled with pride. Build relationships with those considered of lower station.

Use your FOCUS FILTER to elevate positive experiences and filter out the negative. Do your best to release past hurts and embrace best memories. When we eulogize a loved one, we filter our focus to recall the 'good times'. Let's not wait until sometime is give to do this. Let's use our positive FOCUS FILTER now!

When someone annoys you, challenges you, upsets you, or 'rubs you the wrong way', do you REACT or do you RESPOND? There's a difference. REACTING can be impulsive, RESPONDING is more measured and thought out.

Communicate with greater clarity by keeping your communication simple enough for a 5-year-old to understand. #keynotespeaker #speechcoaching #performanceexcellence #Peakperformance #effectiveleadership #clarity #communicate www.markbrownspeaks.com

Research, rehearse, record, and write your history. The person who holds the pen, writes the history. Don't give away your pen.

MINUTE MESSAGE: Fact check! 👍🏾 Verify the claims on VDOs & blog posts BEFORE engaging in activism! Separate RUMOR from REALITY. #keynotespeaker #speechcoaching #performanceexcellence #Peakperformance #effectiveleadership #factcheck #verify www.markbrownspeaks.com
