James Humes

Most speakers speak ten minutes too long.

Every time you have to speak, you are auditioning for leadership.

The art of communication is the language of leadership.

One secret of leadership is that the mind of a leader never turns off. Leaders even when they are sightseers or spectators, are active; not passive observers.

I don't like jokes in speeches. I do like wit and humor. A joke is to humor what pornography is to erotic language in a good novel.
