Public Speaking and Media Relations
Last weekend, thanks to Lifelong Learning , I get the chance to go for 2-day training camp by The Voice Academy .
It was seminar on Public Speaking and Media Relations.
It is great that the instructor shared with us many tips on that, from how to conduct press conference, how to handle podium, how to speak, intonation, voice control, body language, the needs by those reporters, how to face tv screen etc. It was definitely interesting and great learning!
Some of the key learnings.
1. 55% of the Golden ratio of public speaking is actually body language, with 38% on intonation and only 7% on the content! Yet, we need the content to speak..
2. Major skills in presentation - stressing point, where to stop, intonation, rhythm and who is the audience.
3. Main things that public speaker should avoid - fabricate content/avoid questions, hide from reporters, don't dare to say "I don't know", do not be too friend with reporters, do not be against reporters, do not say "I can't tell you", do not try to control reporters, do not ask reporters for source of news, do not memorize texts.
Hopefully, these would be good teasers to begin with. :) To know more, go and take the lessons lor... hahaha...

Interesting Interview on Lifelong Learning With Quek
Below is an interesting interview on Lifelong Learning by Quek Ngee Meng, Acting Director of Lifelong Learning.
The full interview is at here
-----
“义民，有人批评政党不该搞所谓终身学习，你以为呢？”方悟少见的开门见山。
郭义民律师，马华终身学习执行主任，目下整个人身就在眼前，不问他，问谁？此时不问，尚待何时？
郭义民，衣著整齐，“身光颈靓”，笑容开朗，比新闻图片中，或银屏上的他都随时和可亲。
“我想这该是政治偏见，终身学习，任何人、任何组织、任何群体、任何地方，任何时候都可以实践，为什么政党就不能呢？”
义民应对如流，而且分析问题，有纹有路，不愧法学出身，说理不同一般，他也承认，一直都还在学习中。
“请详加说，让我也有随习……”方悟起学而时习之，不亦乐乎……。
“好，我们在政党搞终身学习，有3大宗旨，第1关乎整体的人力资源培训，第2带动政党所代表的华社也加入终身学习，第3重点在于推动执行，以达致上述目标……”郭义民倒背如流，执行主任，果然有备而来。
终身：教育蓝图终身学习
“你们在何时启动？”
“终身学习号列车在2004年10月8日开动，到今天已经跑了3年多，说到其所发挥的影响，举个最鲜明的例，第9大马计划就拨出Chapter II推介终身学习，全民贯彻，提升第一世界思维，落实有素质人力资源的发展。此外，2006年、2007年、2008年财政预算案都拨款充作终身学习活动资金。而2007年8月高教部拟订发表的高等教育蓝图，其中主要发展纲领就以终身学习途径之一。”
郭义民好像在介绍店里卖的精品，出处、年分、风光史无一不说，无说不详。
“至于有组织发动，当时的教育部长Tan Sri Musa就成立了‘社区学院’，让群众也参与学习，可惜表达功能不尽如人意，不了了之，后来的高教部长沙菲益提出另一蓝图，供参考，再然后高教部改由慕斯达化作主，他又修改了有关蓝图，把计划进一步策划，目前还在研究阶段……”
“这样一来，是不是马华反而抢先推行终身学习？”
“是！这样说也不是没道理，马华总会长曾经说过一句话让人不能忘怀：终身学习不能等！”
“有人认为既然是终身的，再等几年又何妨？”方悟假设。
郭义民微笑点头，表示认同。
“我最佩服李光耀！义民强调：“活到老学到老，老人家贯彻最彻底，他说，他一停下来就会去的了。他一位叔父55岁退休后无所事事，两年后便不幸往生，李光耀懂得很多，还不停学习……”
我告诉义民，马六甲有两位老人家终身学习，从没休息过，越活越精神，一是华教前辈沈老，一是发明家土产大王陈金福。
义民听得出神，若有所思。
阅读：终身学习终身阅读
“义民，马华又如何带动华社从事终身学习大业？”
“马华本身超过2/3的区会都积极展开种种规划下的活动，共129个区会定期定点举办，2008年9个区会因主为得力，出色，而被选为模范区会。2007年一共成立了15个终身学习中心，拉曼大学附设延续教育中心，吸引了10万1613人次参与讲座及短期课程，这些都是终身学习计划的具体成果。”
“阅读当然是不可或缺的环节啦？”方悟想当然耳。
“是！”义民谈到阅读，眉目间闪现喜色：“那更令人鼓舞，终身学习鼓励华社加强阅读，第1改变心态；第2提升阅读风气；第3吸收成人参与短期课程，都获致有形或无形的成就，值得一提。
“此外，我们也通过和各协办单位举办书展，在吉隆坡的4场大型书展，吸引了142人次入场，各州属举行13场流动书展，也吸引了21万人次响应，另外更广泛的互联是设立读书会‘悦读’部落格，与各地书友交流，一年来已经培养出2200位导读人。”
“这是一个好现象，对读书风气，肯定有正面影响。大马人不好书，又怕输，所以一贯书店卖的都是命理、风水、保健，博彩指南等书，买客进书店是为了买文具而已……”
“明显的见到了改变”，郭义民难掩兴奋：“现在大规模书店，都汗牛充栋，足见读健康书本风气正在提升中，我们的努力没白费！”
终身学习，终身阅读，阅读该是“主菜”吧？
“义民，终身学习，谈得多啦，换个焦点吧，你今年几岁？”
“我40岁？”
“不惑之年”。
“哈哈1994年加入马华，作为普通党员……”
“后来如何搭上终身学习列车，还成为驾驶员？”
“那时我积极搞华青组织，常主办脑力激荡班，2004年总会长黄家定点名要我负起终身学习计划的责任，我便从幕后走到幕前，从义务兼职为专职主任。”
“总会长如何说服你？”
“总会长演说时举两个例都很生动传神，一是华人小贩传统炮制的鸡饭很好吃，但不会包装美化卖相，是学习现代化的好机会；二是辍学生，许多念到Form 3考试落第便出来闯世界，制造社会问题，这些都是继续学习的好人选。我听了十分信服，也立定志向，要为终身学习出一分力。”
“义民，你讲得非常详尽，可是也免不了让计划惹来一揶揄、嘲讽……”
“这是免不了的”，郭义民面不改容：“从开始推动直至今天，仍然成为挖苦对象，你若问我，我们有何反应，那就是：你揶揄、嘲讽，我们就更加做给你看；第二，谢谢各位不吝批评，使我们做得更起劲，更投入；第三，批评若属建设性的，我们一定采纳，不怀好意的，一概少理，如此而已。”

EQ Talk by Lifelong Learning
Quoting from The Star and Lifelong Learning's Website , there would be an interesting talk on Emotional Quotient (EQ) on Jan 26, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm at the South City Lifelong Learning Centre in Seri Kembangan.
For more information, go to Lifelong Learning Website .
The full article above reproduced:-
---
The Key to Success in Life
KUALA LUMPUR: Good management of one's emotions is the key to greater success in one's career and life.
Senior chartered psychologist and computer scientist from Oxford University Dr Shaun Zeng said the ability to manage such emotions depended on the health of one's emotional intelligence.
He said work problems, like finding it difficult to work with others or leading co-workers as well as finding it overly challenging to meet one's work targets thus resulting in constant change of jobs, were usually symptoms of underlying emotional issues.
“If you feel unmotivated towards self-improvement or if you are generally unhappy with life and with people around you, you need to start looking into your emotional intelligence. You may find that once you can manage your emotions, you can manage anything in life,” he said.
Emotional intelligence or quotient (EQ), he explained, is a person's “emotional quality”. A person with a high EQ can handle his own emotions well and will be able to manage life well.
“Today, most people take the term EQ to mean one's social popularity or aptness. In actual fact, EQ incorporates a multitude of human capabilities.
“Under the rubric of EQ lies the complexity of a person's competencies to demonstrate intelligent use of emotions for self-management and social integration. People with a positive and high emotional quality are usually popular and are generally happy,” he added.
Another important quality necessary for attaining personal life goals is the ability to suppress the desire for immediate gratifications, an aspect of EQ, stressed Dr Zeng.
He cites author J.K. Rowling who wrote Harry Potter as an example:
“She was divorced, lived with her daughter under public assistance in a tiny apartment and her first book was rejected by 10 publishers. Despite the setbacks, her persistence in pursuing her goal led her to become the best selling author in literary history,”
To learn more about EQ, those interested can attend a public talk and workshop on the subject conducted by Dr Zeng in collaboration with the MCA Lifelong Learning Campaign on Jan 26, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm at the South City Lifelong Learning Centre in Seri Kembangan.
For those interested in a career in the training industry or becoming certified and authorised professional EQ trainers, two five-day Trainers Certification Course will be held in July. There will be separate courses for English and Chinese trainers.
Registration begins now. For details call 03-33434999 or 03- 21618044. Other information is available at www. IQKID.BIZ or www.lll.net.my

Lifelong Learning Reading Club is actively looking for Reading Mentor to help others. Its acting director, Mr. Quek Ngee Meng said, "We are looking for people who will act as a group leader or 'mentor' for other readers at the LLL Reading Club events. If you like to read and share your ideas or appreciation of a book with other readers, you are just the person we want.”
The full report of article is in The Star .
It is reproduced here.

MCA Lifelong Learning Campaign (LLL) is looking for avid readers to be reading mentors for their reading club.
“We are looking for people who will act as a group leader or 'mentor' for other readers at the LLL Reading Club events. If you like to read and share your ideas or appreciation of a book with other readers, you are just the person we want,” said LLL acting director Quek Ngee Meng.
Launched last November, the LLL Reading Club aims to foster the love of reading and create a platform for like-minded readers to discuss and share ideas and knowledge. This is where the mentors come in, as they will be the facilitator or moderator, added Quek.
“With the mentor's guidance, the other readers will get a chance to delve deeper into specific areas as well as strengthen their communication skills through group discussions.” Quek Ngee Meng:
With the mentor's guidance, the other readers will get a chance to delve deeper into specific areas as well as strengthen their communication skills through group discussions.
The LLL Reading Club had identified five subject areas namely Life & Health, Parenting Skills & Education, Literature & Classics, Business & Management and Social Science.
Under each category, a panel had carefully selected titles that will not only pique readers' interest but also enhance their knowledge in the area. Selected books include The Man and his Ideas by Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting; A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseni and For one more day by Mitch Albom.
Participants are expected to master the essence of the book with the guidance of the mentors who would each be assigned based on his or her professional knowledge or experience. For those who are interested in becoming mentors but lack experience, a training workshop will be organised by the Lifelong Learning Secretariat to train them in the basic skills of leading a reading club.
In the workshop they will learn about the role of the LLL Reading Club mentors, and the principles and approaches in leading the club. At the end of the workshop, a mock reading club will be organised so that participants can apply the skills they learnt.
The Mentor Training Workshop, which is open to all interested in becoming an LLL Reading Club Mentor or just picking up mentoring skills, will be held this Saturday, at 2pm at KTAR Learning Centre, Wisma MCA, Jalan Ampang, here.
The Hainan Association Book Club executive advisor Stanley Yong will conduct the workshop. Starting from this month, the LLL Reading Club will be set up in different Lifelong Learning Centres, MCA divisions as well as the premises of Chinese NGOs and community organisation centres.
For more information, visit the LLL website: Lifelong Learning , call 03-2161 8044 or email reading@lll.net.my .

LLL is looking for those who are interested to become mentors. There will be a training session provided on 17th December 7:30pm at Wisma MCA, Jalan Ampang. To get more info, go to Lifelong Learning's Website or call 03-21618044.
As Mr. Quek Ngee Meng, Acting Director of Lifelong Learning mentioned, "Reading need not be a solitary activity any more. It can be a social activity where different people can share similar interests and their thoughts on different books.
The 6 books recommended are:-
1. (Literature & Classics) - For One More Day by Mitch Albom
2. (Literature & Classics) - A Thousand Splendid Sons by Khaled Hosseni
3. (Life & Health) - You're What You Eat: Your Healthy Lifestyle Guide
4. (Parenting & Education) - How To Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adela Faber and Elaine Mazlish
5. (Business & Management) - Build To Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies by Jim Collins
6. (Social Science) - The Man and His Ideas by YB Dato' Seri Ong Ka Ting
