JAZZ AND THE COLD WAR
Images
"...Up until the late 80's, it was not officially forbidden, but you were always like marked: 'Ah, he's interested in jazz. He's with Western culture. He's potentially enemy of the state.' ...Jazz music more than any other form of art makes a person free. Playing music or listening to it you don't have to adhere to Soviet laws. And those laws were so artificial, so brutal, so unnatural. Here, listening or playing you could be yourself. You're free. You're free from that nonsense."

LEARN TO LOVE PUBLIC SPEAKING
Images
Public speaking is a common fear and some folks even go as far as to characterize it as a terror, which is why effective public speakers with powerful presence are so often admired and rewarded, especially in professional media circles.
A strong presentation conveys leadership, confidence, and competence. It gives you a definite advantage, whether speaking before a packed house, a small team, your current boss, or your potential boss.
