"Your Effective Presentation"
The two aspects of making a memorable presentation are identified in the booklet by Dale Carnegie titled Effective Speaking and Human Relations and ones that I encourage our members to consider. They are:
- Be yourself, speak about why and how you decided to choose your career.
- Become a more interesting person. Use animation, gestures, vocal tones and emotions when you speak. also, objects that represent your occupation, things that your audience can touch, feel and observe. These will not only wake up your audience, they will make them remember you and your business. Remember, you only have one chance to make a first impression..
I invite you to join me this Wednesday morning with other business owners and to witness for yourself why, the Chapel Hill Leads Group is the premier business referral group in the region. Remember to bring, along with business cards, a smile on your face, a song on your mind and an attitude of gratitude for the life you have and the opportunities available within our great nation.
Respectfully,
Lee Schearer

Attention CHLG Members - The Chapel Hill Leads Group's goal is to raise 100+ boxes of cereal a month. If everyone brought one box of cereal to two meetings this month, the Chapel Hill Leads Group would easily exceed the 100 boxes of cereal goal.
