How come when some ppl name drop, they can't just say "Tony Robbins", they have to say "my good friend Tony Robbins"?

Challenge yourself in the same way b4 every #presentation - could you survive 3 demands for more specifics?
Ask people: "Give me more specifics to your point pls." Ask this 3x. Their response will reveal a HUGE amount.
Wish all governments had a style guide like #NewZealand govt's bit.ly/2qCL3G0 #Writing

GREAT talk by @DKThomp on science of #popularity. Familiarity > novelty, distribution > content youtube.com/watch?v=l9KW3GtW…
Trouble recalling points in your speech? Try this by @jimkwik youtube.com/watch?v=TbRLzJLE…
So refreshing when a government website looks like this: open33.ntpc.gov.tw/

Between stories he supplied convincing numbers and reasoning as if he'd rehearsed them over & over (probably did)
He then focused on one girl he couldn't save (instead of cold trafficking stats), giving the speech its emotional peak.
He anticipated skepticism by revealing his "day job" (fight sex trafficking) - and thus set down credibility.
It's not everyday a testimony on #CSPAN goes viral. Fine speech by @aplusk in all aspects - credibility, reason & emotion nitter.gq/CNNPolitics/status/831…
Ashton Kutcher is testifying at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on how to put an end to modern slavery: cnn.it/2kJUQaN
