Class Nov 15th - Tony Robbins

Tonight we watched an amazing video of a lecture given by Tony Robbins. His speech was electrifying! He drew you in so much that you were upset when he said his time was up! You almost wish that he would speak forever. He made so many great points while keeping the audience on its toes and always fully interested. There's a reason this guy gets paid the big bucks to speak. He knows how to motivate you and keep you interested throughout his speech. The speech itself was around 15 minutes long, if… Continue

Speech Class So Far

so far, i've been in Professor Green's speech class a couple of times and every time is better than the last. In fact, one time we gave speeches in a nearby pizzeria. That was both enjoyable and an excellent learning experience. We were able to use the skills we learned of public speaking and apply it right away in a public environment such as the pizza store. This was a great hands on approach that only Professor Green can come up with. Kudos to the Professor for his outstanding ideas!

So Far This Course Is GREAT!

I've been in the speech class for three Sunday night sessions and its been great. All the classes are informative and really help you prepare for public speaking. Prof. Green makes all the classes really exciting. In fact, last week we went for a pizza party to celebrate a classmates birthday and we delivered speeches in the pizza shop. Mark videoed the whole event and we all gave our introduction speeches. Looking forward to future classes!

I loved the video! I find it very interesting how Salita uses religion as a motivation for his boxing and how he finds strength in religion.

Abraham Klug commented on Mark (Moishie) Zicherman's blog post 'Class Nov 15th - Tony Robbins'

Tony Robbins speech was very entertaining and kept me fully interested for the entire speech. Although he brought up 9/11 I thought it was just to bring out his point and not using it to make money.

Abraham Klug commented on Richard Green's video 'An Ode to New York City on 9/11/2009'
