Hi,
It is a tragedy that Bill Clinton’s presidency was tainted by the Monica Lewinsky scandal. As a result, some people forget his good work as President and some diminish his current worldwide charity work. A friend of mine worked with Clinton and told me this story. My friend sat beside Clinton during a dinner for over thirty people in New York. When the main course was finished Clinton skipped dessert to greet each member of the delegation. He enquired about their well-being and the lives they lead. My friend told me that his team of delegates were impressed by Clinton's genuine concern. I asked my friend if it was a genuine concern or just a politician’s act. He said, “Darren, the bloke loves people, and he really cares.”
This book is a book on public speaking, and I can only judge Clinton on that. There is no doubting Clinton’s charisma and his ability to make people feel special. However, if your audience doubts your words, they will never take you truly to their hearts.
When Clinton answered allegations over the Lewinsky affair, he looked into the camera and denied anything happened. People believed him. When he later relied on the legal side of his statement to varnish over the truth, he lost the trust of everybody. It is sad that people will always wonder whether he will hide behind legal jargon or communicate with openness. That is why Clinton does not feature in the book.
Tomorrow, I will reveal the most important chapter in the book.
On Monday, I will reveal the Irish man who inspired Obama to become a great speaker.
PS: 'HOW TO GIVE A BETTER SPEECH THAN OBAMA and change your world' - is available on iTunes and Amazon NOW!
Take care,
Darren.
