- The Real McCoy Comments:
This is a speech based on the parable
of the 'boiled frog!' And it's the perfect speech for you
to give to your team-mates, colleagues and staff members in
the good times, when you, your team or your company are on
top and everything on the future horizon is looking good.
Because, this is the very time when unexpected danger lurks...
both within and without!
All too often, when we are all moving
forward at a frenetic pace dramatically reacting to the dramatic
things that are happening in the market, we forget to pay
attention to the 'subtle' as well as the 'dramatic'. For Example:
who in the 'big 3' Detroit-based automobile manufacturers
could have anticipated that the slow subtle increase in market
share of Japanese motor cars would gradually place these Japanese
automobiles in the powerful pivotal position that they hold
in North America today?
This is a story-tellers speech! It's undoubted charm is in the
telling! From the moment you start telling this 'story' you
will captivate your listeners. Because everybody likes a good
story. It's one of these motivational stories that you should
certainly tell your kids.
'...It's the story - a true story - about how Farmer McCoy 'foolishly'
spent his good money seeking advice from the local attorney
firm! It's a fabulous winners-tale and here's a little sample
of what's in store for you ...
Farmer McCoy looked at the senior partner
in amazement and said, 'confound you sir, I've no idea what
I need advice about, that's your job. You are the people who
offer advice. I'm here with the money to pay for it ... and
I can assure you that I can pay for the very best!'
And the advice that Farmer McCoy received is advice that you
and I, and all your listeners, can use to become WINNERS in
whatever we do in life.
