She is also President of MCO Consulting, Inc., a consulting company that provides outreach, monitoring and compliance for private sector firms that work on public sector land.

Quotes from Breakthrough Speaking by Mark Sanborn:

Before you approach the lectern or the microphone you must know why you are there.

If you really want to inspire others to action through speaking, you must first be inspired to speak by your own belief in what you are doing—your philosophy of speaking.

The real hard work that goes into a presentation should take place before you step up to the podium.

The world is filled with ordinary people doing and saying extraordinary things a highly polished presentation is good, but it is critically important that the speaker’s humanity shows through.

Why would you read the story of a lazy, drunk, salesman? The greatest challenge in your time at an organization is providing enough value to justify their keeping you. The best way to show this as shown in “Bradford, You’re Fired!” is firing the poor qualities of yourself and instead encouraging your super-self.

Quotes from “Bradford, You’re Fired!”

“I’d talk with him whenever I could, get him to believing that the success of the business depended on his efforts. And, Bradford—I’d give that man so much work to do that he would have no time to loaf on his job, no time to find temptations, and no time for temptations to find him. I’d make work for him—to keep him going hard. Then if there was anything in him, it would crop out.”

“I have every confidence in you. It’s a great thing to have the confidence of the boss. I’m going to be a hard boss, for I have your interest at heart. If you know this, and realize this, I believe you will succeed. After all, the success of any business depends on the boss and his relations with his employees.”

“And in this story of my rise, you may find the secret of success. If you have not succeeded, it is your own fault.”

“You are the boss of your self, of the Super-self, the inner man who waits to serve you.”

Quotes from As A Man Thinketh:

Your character is the sum of your thoughts; man is made or unmade by himself.

Forget the weapons that destroy yourself or craft the tools that build your earthly and heavenly mansion.

Thought and character are one.

Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment.

A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts.

A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life.

You cannot travel within and stand still without.

You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.

“He said that he surrounded himself with assistants who knew more than he did—and he spurred them on to pile up millions for him. He was Scotch, but he wasn’t too Scotch. He let his partners share in his profits and he made more millionaires than any other man who has ever lived. For he declared it was a disgrace to die rich.”

“The fundamental idea of the gospel of wealth is that surplus wealth should be considered as a sacred trust to be administered by those into whose hands it falls, during their lives, for the good of the community.”

“Wealth is a curse to young men, and poverty a blessing.”

“There is really no true charity except that which will help others to help themselves,

and place within the reach of the aspiring the means to climb.”

“Common humanity impels us to provide for the actual wants of human beings—

to see, through our poor laws, that none die of starvation, and to provide comfortable

shelter, clothing, and instruction, which should, however, always be dependent upon

work performed.”

Quotes from Acres of Diamonds by Russell Conwell:

I know I am right; that the men and women sitting here, who found it difficult perhaps to buy a ticket to this lecture or gathering to-night, have within their reach “acres of diamonds,” opportunities to get largely wealthy.

I say that you ought to get rich, and it is your duty to get rich.

“Oh,” but says some young man here to-night, “I have been told all my life that if a person has money he is very dishonest and dishonorable and mean and contemptible.” My friend, that is the reason why you have none, because you have that idea of people.

Money is power, and you ought to be reasonably ambitious to have it. You ought because you can do more good with it than you could without it.

While we should sympathize with God’s poor—that is, those who cannot help themselves—let us remember there is not a poor person in the United States who was not made poor by his own shortcomings, or by the shortcomings of someone else.

The man who says, “I cannot carry my religion into business” advertises himself either as being an imbecile in business, or on the road to bankruptcy, or a thief, one of the three, sure.

You cannot trust a man with your money who cannot take care of his own.

I have no more right to sell goods without making a profit on them than I have to overcharge him dishonestly beyond what they are worth.

The moment a young man or woman gets more money than he or she has grown to by practical experience, that moment he has gotten a curse.

It is no help to your children to leave them money, but if you leave them education, if you leave

them Christian and noble character, if you leave them a wide circle of friends, if you leave them an honorable name, it is far better than that they should have money.
