MY MOM.

Recently, I had a chance to give a speech about how I live my life by a few areas.

• Get up 
• Give freely
• Grow and learn. 

I shared this in the context of my Mother.  She has been an inspiration in my life and continues to do so as she is in her mid eighties.  One of my colleagues shared this feedback:

​
Good Morning, Winston.  I just wanted to make sure I gave you the basic feedback I had for your stunning presentation.  I really didn’t have any constructive criticism.  I am always intrigued by beautiful speakers as I aspire to be the same.  It is why I also enjoy “The Moth.”  It is found on Sirius radio under shows.  I also enjoy Snap Judgment and StoryCorps.  Word usage and delivery are critical to life in every situation and occasion.  Thank you for sharing your expertise and professionalism.  It is much appreciated. 
 
You excelled at:
You always have such purpose and your presentation is engaging.  To reflect on such a pillar of strength as your Mom – what an honor.  To acknowledge her toil, her love for her craft and love for those around her was such a treat as if I can see her.  It was as if I know her.  You painted such a beautiful picture.  
You always speak with such clarity and your tone is appropriate to your word usage.  You give time for your audience to understand every word you speak.  You have a way of captivating your audience with interest and relatable stories or information.

Thank you S.M. and most importantly my wonderful Mother, Madge Delores Myrie-Wilson.
