Present Yourself - How to become a Successful Speaker
One of the most brilliant boxers ever to emerge from the British Isles was Irishman Barry McGuigan. McGuigan rapidly rose up in the boxing ranks and became the World Featherweight Champion in 1985. He was renowned for his positive attitude, his ability to take any set-back in his stride and to learn from it, and for his total dedication to his training.
After he had retired, McGuigan became one of the top elite boxers elected to the prestigious Boxing Hall of Fame, an honour reserved for the very few who are considered by the sporting community to be among the greatest champions, as well as individuals who are great ambassadors for their sport.
As soon as he retired, McGuigan was eagerly approached by TV companies to become a specialised boxing commentator, which he did.
When he began his new career, McGuigan became very aware that his commentating style was in the order of the following: 'and that was a terrific left jab thrown by Jones! Followed by a terrific right cross ...and Smith comes backwith a terrific right uppercut ...and a terrific left jab ...'. He decided to improve his Verbal Intelligence!
McGuigan literally 'went into training' to improve his Verbal IQ, using all the training techniques he had learning as a world-champion athlete. To aid him, he used Mind Maps to help him expand his vocabulary, and his increasing knowledge of the wonder of words. Within a short time, his vocabulary and Verbal Intelligence improved dramatically. Rather than 'terrific ... terrific ... terrific ...' McGuigan began to spice up his commentary with 'lightning-like, stunning, juddering, rapier-fast, jolting, electrifying ...'. Having applied the training techniques he had used to become a world-champion physical athlete, he rapidly rose up the ranks of TV sports commentators, and became a champion in mental sphere!
McGuigan was so impressed with the rapid strides he was able to make in the development of his Verbal Intelligence that he now plays Verbal Intelligence games with his children - using Mind Maps® and memory techniques to help them as Mind Maps® helped him.
