It wasn't a great movie. Just OK. I just liked watching the bands play. Anyways...in the movie, a white kid (the band is mostly black kids) wants to challenge another drummer for his seat. He plays the bass drum without passion. He is schooled by the movie's star on how to play it like he's making love. That's what I'm reading here with your comment and Alan's. You approach speaking and training with passion fueled by music. Did you ever watch the movie Drumline? It wasn't a great movie. Just OK. I just liked watching the bands play.

It's a collection of music that I use before, during, and after speaking. Some have videos (stolen off of YouTube), some are audio only. Some are hilarious, some are spoken word, some are classical, some classic rock, some very current pop.

If I give the group an assignment, I put up a three-minute as background music while they work rather than a timer. I usually have a couple of “Camtasia” type learning montages that I play with BTO or Queen in the background.

I play a series of music linked to PPT slides before the presentation, to build up slowly. Then some exit music when they leave.

I keep the folder because many times I'm making choices on the fly, depending on the mood of the room and where we are in the content. And it really works — sometimes I even ask participants to text/twitter/email me requests, or let them pick if they win a contest.

how else can you make the world better if you won't shout out what your dreams are? *goes to check door – i know someone will magically realise i am so incredible and come knocking*

and if your message/service/product/solution/paradigm shift/challenge/answer is indeed one that makes a difference, it only makes a difference if allowed to make a difference

how can that ever happen? by staying quiet? luckily, in our info overload world, we are able to share our ideas and message more easily. sure, we may need to compete with acai berries or the trump network, but if it's a good idea or message, it gets out there – but you do have to put it out there – and that's all self-promotion is =)
