Art of Eloquence Has Had a Facelift! I know what you're thinking! I promised to do this two years ago, but try as I might, I was unable to find the time to redesign the site with all the other events and projects I had going. December 31st was my final podcast and I immediately got to work and it's like Art of Eloquence bought a new hat! See? We're still our old purple selves but we've got a totally new feel and I am happy to say it is MUCH easier to navigate and find what you are looking for! First, the home page is completely redesigned to reflect the fact that Art of Eloquence no longer has just...
7 Wonders of the Christian World By JoJo Tabares 1. I wonder why: It’s scary to hear someone passionate about God, but inspiring to hear someone passionate about Football. 2.

In today's microwave society people are always looking for ways to save time...but are we actually spending more time because of miscommunication? You know that old phrase, "Do it right the first time and you won't have to spend time doing it again." I think our nanoseconds would be better spent if we heeded this time honored time saver! I don't know about you, but I have had a tough time communicating lately. Folks are busy and they are trying to find short cuts for whatever they do. I can't count the number of times I...
I've asked this very question at countless seminars I've given. Most people say that communication is very important in their lives. However, when I ask if anyone ever took a communication class or studied communication skills or taught their children effective communication, I get one of three answers: 1. Oh, I'm not a politician or a lawyer so I don't really need to make speeches. But I thought you just said you thought communication skills were important for your every day life?

We receive some wonderful questions and comments from Art of Eloquence customers each month. Since many of them have incredible insights and bring up quite interesting ideas, I thought I would begin sharing them with you all about once a month or so.
