Last week I attended an event where people spoke about their solution for a better living and better future. Afterwards, we took a break and as I networked with people I asked a few people what were the main points of a specific speaker. None of them could tell me. Therefore, it prompted me to write my post on why, how, and what to do when listening to a speaker.
Why?
When listening to a speaker, know why you are listening and discover why the speaker is saying what they say.
How?
Listen to how the speaker acknowledges, honors, what are the main points, examples, and stories.
What To Do?
What does the speaker do to connect with the audience. When a speaker connects that means the audience uses emotional intelligence to take this experiential learning and apply it to benefit their situation and benefit extension by telling someone about the speaker and event. Throughout your life you will be able to recall specifics about the speaker and message (it moved you, an example, phrases, sound bites, stories, or statistics) you’ll use at the right time (often and sometimes for decades) to help you succeed in what you are doing.
I recall speakers and their message, examples, phrases, sound bites, stories, or statistics throughout my life. It has a cumulative effect and I recall it when needed at the perfect time. The is the real value of listening to a speaker.
When you have this frame of mind each time you hear someone speak you receive an experiential learning credit.
If their is an internal or external conflict you are experiencing when listening to a speaker, here is my advanced performance and life conflict resolution and idea generation tool. Speaking is the highest form of experiential learning from a person.
I look forward to hearing about the greater value you are receiving from attending events with a speaker.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you and your family! Thank you for supporting my work and my partnership with “Affectionately Called Endless”.
When I was a kid my friends said there is someone in the world who looks exactly like you. I thought, they might look like me but not identical in appearance. Then, while walking in Greenville, SC people were saying, “Endless”, “Affectionately Called Endless”, and I told them I’m Raj why are you calling me that. They said there’s a guy that looks exactly like you that wears a top hat.
I did my research and saw him as a Local Legend at Alchemy Comedy. We both locked eyes and froze. As I approached, I realized I wasn’t looking into a funny mirror. He said, “I’ve been looking for 600 years for the person that looks exactly like me.” We are in a partnership telling the Story of Greenville. He has a lot of wisdom. Here is a gift and message for you he wants to deliver to a Joint Session of Congress. If you can help him out to do so, please let us know.
Innovation and Entrepreneurial Leadership
1. What idea or innovation is better than what exists today?
2. List tangible reasons why it’s better (does it obsolete a previous invention (computer vs. typewriter), does it make something a lot easier and faster, does it create new patents, and/or does it create a new way or a new market?)
3. What are the next steps? For each step determine is it currently possible (does a solution exist). For some steps you might need to do research, study, and talk with someone to create a solution.
Find ways to reward this process as next step milestones are achieved. One area business needs to innovate is rewarding this process as milestones are achieved instead of the big reward at the end if successful. This is a famine and feast mentality. It would be much better for business to not have famine and have a feast more people enjoy.

Sometime, it’s destiny. Have you seen Joel Embiid play for the Philadelphia 76ers? He started playing basketball in 2010. It is 2017 and he is in the NBA! I’ve never seen anything like this. Take a look:
Your Most Recent “The Zone” Effect
Before doing what you are about to do answer these three questions to mentally prepare:
1. What your motivation? (list your reasons (your why))
2. What is your mindset? (what you think)
3. What is your mood? (feel action)
That’s “The Zone” Effect. Are you experiencing your “The Zone” Effect?

“Make it team win fun.” – Raj Gavurla
Did you win or lose? How about thinking about it this way?:
A team or individual either has “team win fun”, “amazing fun”, “loss” (if it wasn’t fun for you), or it’s a “tie”. No one is a loser. Forward economic mobility not poverty, hate, and violence.
This is “business as a calling (bring life) to earn a better package (includes better money).”

“Know what you need, want, and have.” – Raj Gavurla
“Endless” addressed the thought on “me first” or “others first”. He said it is “win fun teams first” (yes, plural). You’re on several win fun teams. You might think it’s only me there is no one else. Then, look at your environment. Those inanimate things, nature, and animals are on your win fun team. And assuming you know one other person in this world you might need and want to recruit them to form another win fun team. However, “Endless” is aware you are involved with an infinite number of win fun teams. Your family is a win fun team, faith and/or belief system is a win team, doctor(s), nurses, friends, teachers, speakers, authors, innovators, entrepreneurs, nurses, coaches, mentors, job (your on several win teams, i.e. individual positive relationships, your department, designated win fun teams, business unit, organization/company), sports, community service, advocacy, groups, leadership, independence, you get the idea).
Yes, you are on win fun team humanity.
So, you might have heard the “me first” example of being on the airplane and the oxygen mask falls. Do you put it on you first or the other person. You first so you can help others live better. Then, you might have heard the example of “do for others first”. So, you might think someone will do for you since you do for others. I hope so.
So “Endless” says, “win fun teams first”. Whoever does first for the other depends on the situation. Does it make sense? Take time to find meaning in this to you.
