Influence lessons from the Zen Masters
If you want to become a person who can persuade and influence people effectively, you must learn from the Zen masters. Within seconds, they can have their disciples understand a complex issue; make a warrior put down his weapon; and resolve conflicts between two opposing groups. No, not by Magic, but Metaphor.

Great Speakers & Leaders Get Emotional
No, to be a great speaker and leader is not to ask you to get over-emotional, but to express your emotions properly and genuinely, be it in speaking or as a leader.
