<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Presenting is an essential business skill and you are expected to be good at it. This fun and practical session will teach you how to think of a presentation from the audience&rsquo;s point of view. We&rsquo;ll look at the ten mistakes almost everyone makes in every presentation and how to avoid them. You&rsquo;ll learn the skills that theatre practitioners and writers use to craft compelling messages that communicate your point and make people act on your ideas, and you&rsquo;ll take away lots of tips and techniques to avoid &lsquo;death by powerpoint&rsquo;. By the end of this session, you&rsquo;ll never think about presenting in the same way again!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Who should come?: Anyone who gives presentations, either to clients or internally. Even</span></p>

			<title>JCI London book swap - Launch of the JCI London Book Club (28th May, 2012)</title>
			<title_raw>JCI London book swap - Launch of the JCI London Book Club</title_raw>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>We are launching a JCI London Book Club where we are hoping to have a meet up every month to discuss a book which we have all being reading.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In order to prepare us for this we will be having a book swap and informal discussion at the LCC Building. This will be followed by a drink at O'Neill's nearby. &nbsp;</p>
<p>It is a great way to get rid of your pre loved books and replacing them with ones you have not read. The idea is that we bring a book for a book so if you take a book you must have brought a book for it.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<title_raw>Public Speaking Club</title_raw>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Does the idea of speaking in front of a crowd make you nervous and stressed?</p>
<p>Do you wish you had more confidence when giving presentations at work?</p>
<p>Do you want to be able to practice public speaking in a friendly and supportive group environment?<br /> <br /> If the answer to any of the above is YES, JCI London invites you to join the Public Speaking Club!</p>
<p>The Public Speaking Club is a new project designed to help people who have difficulty speaking in public and want to improve their skills. If you are already a confident speaker, the group will allow you to practice your skills in front of a receptive audience. Regardless of which stage you are at, the group will give you the opportunity to try out different techniques and styles of speaking and most importantly, receive constructive feedback on how you can improve helping you grow in confidence.</p>
<p><strong>When booking, please confirm whether you intend to be a Speaker or an Observer.</strong> Observers are limited to giving feedback only.</p>
<p>If you would like to be a Speaker, you will be required to prepare and deliver a short speech lasting 4-5 minutes on a topic of your choice. It can be on anything you like!</p>
<p>Places are limited so please register your interest by following the booking link.</p>
<p>If you have any queries regarding this event, please send an email to Mihai Taraipan at mihaitaraipan@gmail.com</p>

			<title>JCI European Conference 2012  (13th June, 2012 to 17th June, 2012)</title>
			<title_raw>JCI European Conference 2012 </title_raw>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>The conference motto <strong>&ldquo;Enjoy&hellip;every first second&rdquo;</strong> relates to the atomic clock which is situated in Braunschweig and  provides the time of the day for the whole of Germany. In such an atomic  clock the length of a second is deduced from the periodic vibrations of  caesium atoms and transmitted directly, for example, to all radio alarm  clocks and station clocks in Germany.</p>
<p>As a JCI member, you have the opportunity to attend several JCI  conferences throughout the year. The two biggest are the European  Conference and World Congress. JCI UK sends a large delegation to both.  If you go along, you will:</p>
<ul>
<li>see the big picture of JCI and learn how it works</li>
<li>bond with the people you&rsquo;re travelling with&nbsp;</li>
<li>expand your network as you meet many international JCI members&nbsp;</li>
<li>make friends with open-minded, supportive people who will encourage  you to reach your goals</li>
<li>have an enormous amount of fun.</li>
</ul>
<p>Conferences offer high-quality training, lectures and keynote  speeches (often on topics such as leadership, management and  entrepreneurship).</p>
<p>They also lay on social events. During big conferences, different JCI  countries host the evening parties. You could find yourself tasting  sushi at the Japanese night, tucking into sm&oslash;rrebr&oslash;d at the Danish party  and slaking your thirst with sangria at the Catalonian evening.</p>
<p>JCI members find that conferences are a fantastic investment. You&rsquo;ll  come back feeling energized, inspired, and with a bulging contacts book.</p>

			<title_raw>No.3 The &#039;Business Magic Series&#039; - &#039;Practical Productivity in 15 minutes a day!&#039;</title_raw>
			<description><![CDATA[<h1>Business Magic @ Work - A special Series for JCILondon Member 3 of 3</h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lee Warren and James Harwood from Invisible Training lead this hands-on session on practical</p>
<p>productivity. You&rsquo;ll learn why &lsquo;to-do&rsquo; lists are not a good idea, why your email inbox is usually overflowing,</p>
<p>and why the way you&rsquo;re working causes as many problems as it solves.</p>
<p>In the session, Invisible Training will show you how to get your email under control and your in-tray empty</p>
<p>-every day, how to whizz through outstanding items using the &lsquo;two-minute rule&rsquo; and how to implement a</p>
<p>structured and simple workflow system to make projects and plans move forward.</p>
<p>Drawing on the work of David Allen, Leo Babuta and The Alexander Technique, this seminar is engaging</p>
<p>and interactive and everyone will leave with several practical tools for immediate use. After the</p>
<p>presentation, Lee and James will be happy to take questions and help with &lsquo;real-world&rsquo; situations.</p>
<p>Who should come?: Anyone who has more than 10 outstanding emails in their inbox on a regular</p>
<p>basis, and anyone who has ever felt &lsquo;snowed under&rsquo;.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A FANTASTIC new series of business insights, skills and tools to learn and apply in your own organisations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Watch this space and book a slot in your own diary for each session, which will be delivered by Magicians with experience as business coaches who use psychological and theatrical techniques to deliver visible results.</p>]]></description>

			<title>JCI Global Partnership Summit 2012 (25th July, 2012 to 27th July, 2012)</title>
			<title_raw>JCI Global Partnership Summit 2012</title_raw>
			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Active Citizenship for a Better World<img style="float: right;" title="Blog &raquo; JCI-2010-global-partnership-summit-artwork.jpg" src="http://www.jcilondon.org.ukhttp://www.jciuk.org.uk/images/000832/JCI-2010-global-partnership-summit-artwork.jpg" alt="Blog &raquo; JCI-2010-global-partnership-summit-artwork.jpg" width="200" height="247" /></strong></p>
<p><em>"Looking ahead to 2015 and beyond, there is no question that we  can achieve the overarching goal: we can put an end to poverty ... But  it requires an unswerving, collective, long-term effort."</em><br />-United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon</p>
<p><strong>Why Global Partnership? </strong><br />Imagine a better world. A world with no wars, no poverty, no sickness. Now, how are we going to get there?</p>
<p>No single entity can answer the world's greatest challenges alone.  The three sectors each have a unique and crucial role to play, and only  through collaboration will we realize the better world we are working  for.</p>
<p>At the 2011 JCI Global Partnership Summit, active citizens from  around the world united with leaders of business, civil society and  government to explore ways to work both individually and collectively to  enhance grassroots efforts to advance the UN MDGs. In 2012, we're  taking action to apply these powerful ideas to our countries, our  communities, our backyards.</p>
<p>Through interactive discussions, workshops and case studies, JCI  members, partners and participants will engage these concepts viewed  through the unique JCI perspective as the leading global network of  young active citizens.</p>
<p><strong>Objective</strong><br />The Summit will focus on arming active  citizens with the tools and information necessary to impact their  communities through targeted action and strategic partnerships.</p>
<p><strong>Expected Results</strong><br />The Summit aims to accomplish the following</p>
<ul>
<li>Engage thought leaders from the three sectors to explore best  practices in collaboration, leading the conversation with the unique JCI  perspective</li>
<li>Highlight strategic partnerships and how they can be implemented at  the local level to build a better world and advance the UN MDGs</li>
<li>Showcase stand-out projects from all three sectors to motivate and inspire active citizens to create positive change</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Participants</strong><br />The Summit is open to all members of  JCI. In addition to JCI members, a number of UN officials,  representatives of JCI's global partners as well as Global Compact  companies will attend. Normally not more than 200 people attend so it is  a great opportunity to get to meet and socialize with people you  otherwise only see from a distance.&nbsp;</p>

Members then  shadow a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for two whole days, learning  what they are doing in practice, seeing what's really going on.</p>
<p>In addition to the shadowing and the first day of lectures the evenings are  filled with receptions and dinners so that participants really get to see what  life in the EU capital is like.</p>
<p>You have to be a JCI member to participate at this event.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The event starts Sunday afternoon and continues through Wednesday with  daytime and evening events. The price does not include accomodation.</p>

" width="200" height="79" /><br /><br />Have a look at  the beautiful logo, do you see it's a dragon? <a href="http://jciwc2012taipei.org/" target="_blank">You can read more at the website: jciwc2012taipei.org</a></p>

</p>
<p><strong>Logo Concept</strong></p>
<p>1. Year 2012 will be the year of dragon, according to the Chinese Zodiac. Coming out together with the dragon and the number of "2012" means the combination of eastern (the dragon) and western (4 digits) culture.<br />2. The dragon is the leader of 12-animal symbols in the Chinese zodiac. JCI is the leader of young entrepreneurs' associations, JCI Taipei is the leader of JCI local chapters in Taipei Metropolitan Area, and Taipei is the leading metropolis city in Taiwan.<br />3. A jumping dragon means an active leader. The dragon was drawn in Chinese calligraphy painting and in form of circled ribbon. The circle means "completion" - success and achievement.<br />4. 2012 is drawn by calligraphic painting too and was in form of colorful clouds. Clouds 2012 rises and accompanies with the jumping dragon going toward to JCI (in form of its official logo) and the World Congress. The whole picture presents to keep moving forward year by year. This idea is very similar to "Be Better" concept from JCI - always stepping toward a better world!</p>
