Body Language Read of Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson

In this photo they are so sweet. She is teetering on her heels and he is looking down to make sure she won't fall. He is so the gentleman with the Groomsman hold on her arm. (elbow close to side hand to his chest,)

She is holding on for balance, but not necessarily with love. She is a bit concerned about how she looks. I do like their left arms mirror, but for her it is partly to hold her purse, he is the one holding her. With their front teeth showing smiles they are very happy. I give them a 3 on Life & Style's True Love scale.

Research shows that 71% of executives admit to falling asleep during a presentation

Research shows that 71% of executives admit to falling asleep during a presentation.

 

 

Study: Most execs sleep their way to the top

• Results released this week from an online poll by a data visualization software company reveals that 71 percent of business executives surveyed have fallen asleep or felt sleepy during dull presentations.
• The survey of 382 business managers was conducted by San Diego-based Infommersion. In addition to the 71 percent who admitted to dozing off, another 43 percent have caught other people napping during presentations.
• The most difficult types of presentations to stay awake through were individual speeches, followed by training sessions, and then general meetings, according to the Infommersion poll. Interestingly, Webcasts were said to be the easiest type of conference to stay alert though with only 11 percent of respondents saying they were difficult to sit through, the company reported.
• Survey participants said that the most important elements for a successful presentation were an 'animated and enthusiastic' speaker (at 51 percent), followed by an 'interesting and interactive' presentation (at 36 percent of the votes). It helped if the presenter was 'good looking,' 3 percent of respondents said.  

I spoke to an Association last week in Phoenix and we spent my two presentations laughing and having so much fun.  They were terrific!  If you know the secrets, you can have terrific audiences every time you have a meeting.  Participants in my public speaking training tell me with the new tips they energize their delivery and will never have people yawning and nodding off during their Power  Point presentations. Read my article How To Make Your Content and Delivery Engaging. If you want coaching or training on how to make your presentations more dynamic check out my website at Dynamic Delivery, Coaching Or Training or email me atPatti@PattiWood.net or call 678-358-6160.

Sleeping in Public in China

Sleeping in public is common in China. The practice reflects a foggy border between public and private space, between work and rest, between open job markets and guaranteed positions. What will happen, if anything, to this common habit as China evolves from communism to market socialism? Some people believe that his habit grounded in a communist ethos where work is guaranteed and your performance not measured, some believe that it is grounded in cities that function fully for 24 hours a day instead of closing at night. Sine researches like Molly Steven wonder if Chinese businesses will begin enforce western standards for behavior, or wonder if napping become a protest against non-Chinese institutions? She gives the example of   IKEA, a stalwart Nordic institution has been invaded by thousands of sleeping Chinese customers.  The company has had to evolve their businesses practices to adapt to the Chines culture of the How has, or has not, the industrial giant evolved their business practices to take into account this interesting behavior?

This presentation will explore some of the history and social norms associated with public sleeping in China in 2013 and discuss the current climate in the retail stores about this habit.( source Snore: Public Sleeping in China

 If you would like to see more photos of the public sleeping in China go to www. Sleepingchina.com they call China “The Sleeping Giant". Or how the new China is "The Awakening of the Red Dragon". But the photos or just hysterical. It’s the new website replacing the old favorite funny photos of Walmart shoppers. I hope everyone sleeps well.
