1. Lean: Sustain
============================================================
Let’s review our lean process. With sorting, shining, setting order and standardizing our workplace should now be a place we want to be. The challenge is to keep our “stuff” together and sustain the new office management. Develop an evaluation process and schedule to keep your office or workspace lean. Even if you office solo, have a checklist that gives specifics about maintenance and cleaning including when it will be done . Then check it off when it is done and feel a sense of accomplishment each and every week. Remember, statistically, the average person spends 2 weeks a year looking for things – maybe you lean office will reward you with a little more time.

2. Speech Writing
============================================================
Writing a speech is definitely easier than giving a speech! However, giving a speech becomes easier once you have a knock-out speech written and ready to deliver! Here are some key points for making your next speech better:
• Have a great title. Playful is terrific - It makes people want to learn more.
• Make sure your speech has a beginning, middle and end
• Create a “how” question in your audience’s mind – “how can I do that?”
• Give your audience something to take away with them. Provide them with tools that can help them succeed.
• Make your conclusion memorable!

3. Testimonials to Groups Provide Great Possibilities
===========================================================
Having someone else tell a group of people how good your product or service is beats anything you can say about yourself. Ask people who have used your products or services to talk about their experience at their next meeting.
