POEM: Vegan Thanksgiving
Heart of the Holidays, Holidays, Thanksgiving| No Comments »
Vegan Thanksgiving
It’s sacred Thanksgivin’, and all through the house,
Nothing’s overnight baking, not Lamb and not Grouse.
Making plans for the morning, health-conscious are we,
Jotting it down, while sipping White Green Tea.
We’ll start with Wheatgrass – a 2-ounce shot,
Toasting healthy bodies with no meat in the pot.
Most thankful are we as we pause to say grace,
Not getting caught up in the commercial rat race.
Sparkling Pomegranate Juice in a wine glass,
Light up the stove – we’re cookin’ with gas!
Pita chips and hummus are starter pre-meal,
Carrots, Jicama, Bell Peppers – the natural deal.
Fresh garden salad, sunflower seeds and sprouts,
There’s enough for everyone – so no one pouts.
Simmer a pot of Cous Cous, or Basmati Rice,
Baked Butternut Squash would surely be nice.
Raw Sugar Snap Peas, and baked Yummy Yam,
Doing well avoiding Duck, Turkey and Ham.
Brown Rice Bread, Lentil Veggie soup, too.
Wow – without meat and dairy – there’s so much you can do!
Chocolate Tofu Mousse Cake – well-chilled,
With graham cracker crust, I’m not that strong-willed!
Organic Pumpkin Pie – served piping hot.
Maybe Turkey next year? I think NOT!

CalSAE Luncheon Features Workplace Communications Speaker Sheryl Roush
Speaking to the topic of “Critical Communications, Critical Connections, Critical Times” tailored for senior management and experienced sales team members, Ms. Roush began the program having attendees assess their communication techniques, then guided them through the Seven Multiple Intelligences, or modalities of listening and authentic persuasion. This presentation outlined the critical elements of connecting with others – including fellow members in the organization, employees and peers.
Closing out the program, Sheryl offered tips on Creating a Positive Work Environment, what employees want, plus boosting morale and attitudes during these most challenging times. Members commented it was the most fun, high-level, and interactive program they have ever had at their meetings.
Your presentation “Critical Communications, Critical Connections, Critical Times” was a complete hit with the CalSAE members. I found it to be an excellent combination of practical tips, helpful reminders, and was also delightfully funny. I am certain each member of the audience was not only entertained, but was able to learn from your presentation and take away something useful in their personal and professional lives.
I was also impressed with your preparation and personalization for this presentation. You have a special talent for engaging the audience in an inclusive and relaxing way that enhanced the experience for everyone. I’ve rarely seen presenters that can personally connect with so many in the audience in such a short time. It was quite impressive to witness.
It was also clear that your research and mastery on the subject of communications is very high. The subject of communications is critically important, and your information could be used by those throughout any organization. I also appreciate the way in which you were able to tailor the presentation based on the specific needs and requests you received from us in advance.
Thank you for an excellent presentation and I am looking forward to working with you in the future.
Best,
Jim Anderson, CAE
President & CEO

National Speakers Association: Spirit of NSA Day November 14
Speaking Events, Stories| 1 Comment »
National Speakers Association:
Spirit of NSA Day
November 14
November 14 has been designated a national day of advocacy for the National Speakers Association
Posted October 14, 2008
To honor NSA Founder Cavett Robert, CSP, CPAE, and continue NSA’s legacy of sharing and giving, November 14, 2008 will be our 2nd Annual Spirit of NSA Day, a national day of advocacy encouraging NSA members to support one another. This year, and on every November 14 going forward, the day serves as a reminder to NSA members, encouraging them to:
- Focus on giving back
- Provide genuine support to speaking colleagues
- Take time to connect, help, mentor or refer business to other members without any expectation of reciprocation
Many members already follow Cavett’s role model. However, imagine the strength of spirit and growth of our profession if all of our members focus on unconditionally giving of themselves to our community on this day. The NSA community is known for the concept of removing competition by building a bigger market for all speakers.
The strength of NSA is in the education we provide and the strong community we have built. As members, you are asked to support the Spirit of NSA by introducing colleagues to clients, referring business or mentoring emerging speakers.
Help the legacy continue and "build a bigger NSA pie" by participating in Spirit of NSA Day on November 14, 2008!
- Provide peer to peer encouragement
- Introduce a colleague to a potential client
- Refer business to a colleague
- Mentor an emerging speaker
Professional Member Sheryl Roush, commented, "I would not be where I am in the speaking profession today, had it not been for the overwhelming generosity of colleagues mentoring, coaching and cheering me along the way." Speaker Mary-Ellen Drummond recruited Sheryl to join NSA in 1990, on her board as Newsletter Editor for the San Diego Chapter. Roush then went on to serve another 13 years on the Chapter Board, received the "Member of the Year" award, and holds the Golden Microphone Award designation from the Greater Los Angeles Chapter. To date, she has presented in nine countries, plus addressed seven nations in the Arabian Gulf, and is a 12-time published author.
President of Sparkle Presentations, Inc., she coaches and mentors Toastmasters International members into becoming professional speakers and authors today, as one way of giving back, and supporting the future of the profession. Sheryl was only the third woman in the world (of six) to earn Toastmasters’ Accredited Speaker designation for outstanding professional platform speaking skills, in their global membership of 4 million people in 93 countries. To date only 58 have earned this elite designation.
In honor of Spirit of NSA Day, Roush is donating graphic design work to two of her NSA colleagues on their NSA Fall Conference workshop presentations next weekend. She is also donating an after-dinner church fellowship presentation, "Humor for the Holidays" to senior citizens in her home town at the Chula Vista Congregational Church, located in San Diego, California.
