5 Stars for Craig Fenton’s speaking and writing course:

http://www.learnpublicspeakingskills.com

One of the ways reviews often lose credibility is if the writer does it with a selfish purpose (promoting something they receive commission on) and not with the consumer’s benefit as the primary goal.

That is why I choose to educate without compensation. Craig Fenton the rock and roll author of books on the Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship as well as a lecturer with a one time member of the Grateful Dead and a famous rock photographer has recently released a guide to better speaking, writing, and self-confidence called Painting My Room In A Colorful Way.

I have often been perplexed if speaking is a verbal word why so many products are only using the written. Painting My Room In A Colorful Way contains a book, audio files, email, and actual phone coaching. The contents clearly show Mr. Fenton’s desire to give the customer the optimum results. The majority of the population would find Mr. Fenton’s product advantageous for work, school, interviewing, or building personal self-confidence.

I often find those that sell books or audio products are talking down and not to the customer. It is obvious from the way Mr. Fenton supports the product after the sale that he is rooting for each individual to succeed. There are many exercises that think outside the box and that was a refreshing change. How many times do you purchase something and the contents only differ by the author’s name.

The idea behind the program is to take the customer through various steps of the speaking and writing path and tear down the walls of inhibition and improper habits. He includes over 650 words that are commonly mispronounced, tricks on improvisation, preparation, relaxation, slang terms that can severely limit your message, memory building, and what has to be the largest assemblage in one place a reverse dictionary. Almost 3500 words that can be looked up by the improper and correct spellings. You don’t get the meanings but it is a priceless tool.

Too many people feel when the sale is made their job is finished. Mr. Fenton coaches you all the way through with email and phone instruction. Part of the contents of Painting My Room In A Colorful Way is Mr. Fenton coaching you on the telephone (at his expense) so you are able to get the proper guidance both via the written and oral word.

The entire course was never work. It actually made me eager to see what was coming next and practice what he already afforded me. If you are or want to be a speaker or get involved in communications, a student, a manager, salesperson, a parent, or a writer, the contents will give you the road to the finish line. You only have to bring a pen, your voice, and the desire to achieve.

Welcome to the Consumer Friend side of the street.  Thanks for visiting.

The average pack of cigarettes is currently 5.01 nationwide.  Let’s make it an even 5.00.  If you smoke 1 pack per day you are spending 150.00 a month or 1800.00 a year without any benefit to the body.

How about making this the best time to quit.  Since a tough economy means cutting back why eat out less or deprive yourself of a few great classic rock CD’s?

Welcome to the slice of consumer life.  How are you and thanks for visiting:

For the weekend the Twitter universe was rocked with 2 worm attacks.  Doesn’t say much for the security patches but that is another story.  This is simply to pass on the site to trust if something needs to be known about a current technical situation with Twitter.

http://status.twitter.com/

One of the ways the creator of the worm (will not mention name or anything that feeds his ego) gets it to spread is buy sending messages that tell somebody click here if you have the worm.  It then infects more and the domino effect comes tumbling down.

Next time there is a Twitter situation please be careful clicking and posting until it is resolved.

It never hurts to change passwords every so often.

Good news I was able to say all that in more than 140 characters.

Thanks for visiting and please stop by often.

Hi from Consumer Friend’s side of the street, thanks for stopping by.

Early Saturday morning a little after 1AM to be almost precise the talk show host Tony Page at all sports WFAN 660 AM Radio, New York City could have opened with the Yankee victory of Kans City, the tough Mets lose to Florida, the upcoming hockey playoffs, or the poor performance this year of both local pro basketball teams.

Tony would take the opportunity to put the sports on hold for a few minutes so he could tell the listeners what he has for about 15 years.  As long as he has been on the radio he always says “No drinking and driving.”

In case you were not aware major league baseball pitcher Nick Adenhart in his early 20′s had his life ended the other day (I believe a couple of other innocent people as well) when an alleged  drunk driver hit Nick and the other passengers.

Once again lives are torn apart, families in tears forever, and the problem continues. Our sympathy to those that lost somebody special.

See if you could leave a message for Tony and tell him how it takes a great man to always look out for others.
