Shut Up and Speak!

Picture
by John Sheirer
The old story goes…that more people are afraid of public speaking than they are of death. Think about that for a moment. That means that many people at a funeral would prefer to be the person lying in the casket than the person standing up to deliver the eulogy. 

“Shut up and speak” means that you must stop churning stomach acid when thinking about how difficult or frightening public speaking can be. “Shut up and speak” means that you can’t become a better public speaker simply by studying communications theory or relying on public speaking folk wisdom.

Confessions of An American Dad

Picture
From Russell King
“Family Values” is something we hear about all the time by politicians and pundits, preachers and proselytes, who paint a picture of crumbling families and a deteriorating social order. The rhetoric is of fear and exclusion, and is completely divorced from any notion of what the American family is actually like. Finally, Russell King brings sanity, respect, and honest insight into the debate. At last, a poignant look at one father’s efforts to make “family values” synonymous with inclusion, growth, community, and love.

Tales of a Real American Liberal

Picture
From John Sheirer
In 2008, when John Sheirer heard Sarah Palin talking about “real America,” his well-developed “B.S.-detector” sounded the alarm. Sheirer grew up in what Palin would call “real America,” but the values he learned were far from Palin’s right-wing extremism. Sheirer’s upbringing taught him that America is a connected community, not a set of isolated individuals who can disregard or demean the lives of others. In short, Sheirer’s upbringing helped make him a liberal. In Tales of a Real American Liberal, Sheirer examines contemporary social, political, and cultural events and turns his B.S.-detector on the right-wingers who don’t understand what makes America a great nation. He reclaims the title “liberal” from those who use it as a mindless insult and recasts it the patriotic compliment it’s meant to be. John Sheirer is proud to call himself a “Real American Liberal.”
