2012年1月，頭馬國際發布了的第一期在線期刊。從此之后，大家都可以通過頭馬官網，下載pdf版的頭馬雜志。在今天這一期，我們也會在文末介紹我們LEAD項目的團隊成員，敬請關注和撩喲。
一、Message from Michael Notaro
習慣的力量！亞里士多德曾經說過：“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit”。還記得頭馬的四個核心價值觀嗎？RISE，E就是Excellence。既然Excellence是一個Habit。那我們頭馬人的習慣又是什么呢？頭馬全球主席Micheal Notaro, DTM告訴我們，頭馬人有七個高效的習慣：
1) Be Early.?2) Be Prepared. 3) Be Positive. 4) Be Supportive. 5) Be Courteous. 6) Be a Goal-setter. 7) Be Ready for Anything.
二、Member Story
1. The Three Peaks Challenge
會員Hari Kalymnios愛運動也愛頭馬。在2011年6月，他參加了24小時登上英國三座高峰（Ben Nevis in Scotland 1344 m, Scafell Pike in England 978 m, Snowdon in North Wales 1085 m）的極限運動。當完成最后一座山時，他拿出了頭馬雜志請朋友幫他拍照留念。因為他相信，頭馬和登山一樣充滿了挑戰。
2. Annemarie du LeBohn: Iron Woman
在Julie Bawden-Davis筆下，Annemarie du LeBohn的人生充滿難以想象的艱辛，小時受到凌辱，長大又遭車禍。但是，看似殘酷的鐵人三項和大庭廣眾下的頭馬演講改變了她，教會她正向思考。她說：“When we have negative thoughts, we’re usually casting ourselves in the victim role. The only way to experience a better life is to focus on the fact that we have control of our life.”她還說：“It is possible to be peaceful and powerful at the same time and to follow your dreams. And the sooner you set out after those dreams, the better.”是不是收到了她的力量和優雅呢？快來看看她的故事吧~
3.Speaking on the run
本期這是腫么了？會員都是非常運動掛嗎？Jennie Harris介紹的Croix Sather, CC,CL從San Diego跑到New York，一共花了100天時間（平均一天一個全馬啊），期間還做了100個speech。啥都別說了，頭馬人就是會玩兒鴨。快來聽聽他都說了啥？太打雞血了。
三、Public Speaking Skills
1. Communication Tip – 如何去聽？
相對于說，聽更加需要聚焦、耐心和練習。如何提高聽的能力呢？頭馬雜志告訴你以下六個小技巧：
1) Watch a person’s body language;?
2) Make eye contact;?
3) Don’t interrupt;?
4) Listen to every last word;?
5) Pause to process;?
6) Ask questions
2. Milestone on the Path to CC
可能現在的小伙伴都不知道什么是CC了？CC就是Competent Communication的簡寫，是頭馬舊教育體系的兩大支柱之一。CC手冊有十個Project，從Ice breaker到Inspire Your Audience。本期，Beth Black, CC將帶領大家一定聊一聊如何快速通關，提高技能。雖然，現在教育系統換成了Pathways，但是一些內容還是值得借鑒的。設立你的里程碑就是一個督促進度的好方法~不管怎樣，記住啦：“Ultimately, no matter where your milestones lie along the CC path,?it is important to keep moving forward, tackling each challenge and relishing?each opportunity for success in reaching your public speaking goals.”
3. The Magic of Sense Appeal
演講是理性的，也是感性的。怎樣才能從感性上打動你的觀眾？Colleen Plimpton, ACB說，人有五感，視覺、聽覺、嗅覺、味覺和觸覺，一個都不能少。那么，咋個用法哩？除了用語言更加準確地描述之外，還有其他的方法。快去看看吧。
四、Toastmasters Enlightens Our Life
1. Career Boost – Membership benefits lead to professional opportunities
頭馬到底能給我們的生活和職場帶來什么變化呢？Jennifer L. Blanck, DTM告訴我們，不妨給自己設定一個目標，看看這些目標能否在頭馬年中實現？每一個“小”技能后面都有一個真實的“大”故事。
1) Developing an demonstrating skills;?
2) Volunteer activities offer high value: Initiative, Ability to Lead or Work on Teams, Working with Diverse People
3) Build and use your network
4) Practice quick responses
5) Market the benefits for recruiting
6) Action items to consider: For Yourself, For Your Club
大家對這六點是不是深有體會和非常認同呢？如果你的答案是YES的話，就采取行動吧，為你自己和你的俱樂部做點什么吧！
2. How far has your bottle gone? – Ask the right questions when reviewing your life’s achievements
再回首，背影已遠走。再回首，淚眼朦朧~誰沒有夢想，誰又再回首時不唏噓長嘆呢？用盡全力扔出裝有夢想的漂流瓶，發現他不過只走了幾條街區。是失落還是不甘心？其實，人生不如意事之八九。Ernest Stalr告訴我們要問自己正確的問題，那才是真正的人生成就拷問。
1) How many times did I refuse to quit??
2) How many times did I learn from my mistakes?
3) How many times did I make a comeback??
