Greg Lee, My Golf Coach

Greg Lee, My Superb Golf Pro

For several years, I have relied on one golf professional for lessons–Greg Lee of Chicopee Woods Golf Course in Oakwood, Georgia, near my home in Gainesville, Georgia.

One attraction for me is that Greg plays the game at very high competitive levels, and scores well. He can do what I ask him to teach me. I have followed him in several tournaments, including the Nationwide Tour event held annually in nearby Athens, Georgia. Last year he led the qualifying round, winning the qualifying medal by three strokes (tough to do in just 18 holes).

Also, I welcome the way Greg can demonstrate–during a lesson–a skill I am trying to learn. Fortunately, his teaching method isn’t complicated. He gives me simple drills to practice, so that those helpful motions will become habits.

Greg encourages me. Previously I have worked with golf pros whose comments centered on what I was doing wrong. Greg does the opposite. He tells me what I’m doing right, and urges me to continue. “Your stance and grip are much better than they were last week,” he’ll say.

REFLECTS MY SPEECH COACHING STRATEGY
Worth noting: Greg Lee’s approach to coaching his golf students reflects how I work with my Speech Coaching clients. As a professional speaker, I demonstrate what I want to teach–sometimes before audiences of 500 people. Too, I help clients simplify speaking by using the ideal method for preparation/delivery. Third, I center on the positive side of a performance.

Lee Highsmith–Turning Disability into Ability

Lee Highsmith, Challenged Child and Friends

Some children appear to be different from others we see. Customarily, people might refer to them as crippled or handicapped. Yet those terms refer to a child’s limitations. Fortunately, there’s an organization that takes a more positive outlook. That’s reflected in the name: “Challenged Child and Friends.”

What a privilege I had–interviewing Lee Highsmith, Director of Development and Marketing for this group, for “The Communication Corner,” my Tuesday morning interview program for WBCX, 89.1 FM, “The Voice of Brenau University.”

Affiliated with Challenged Child and Friends as a staff member since 2004, Lee spoke with great enthusiasm about its service to children and their families. Included in our conversation:
*How the group originated
*Special services for parents, such as “Respite Night”
*Major public events the group sponsors
*The $25,000 challenge grant opportunity from McDonald’s
*Medical services provided
*Interaction with other area nonprofits
*Integration between typical children and challenged children
*Vital role of volunteers
*Inspiring stories of children who live triumphantly with their limitations
*”Summer Sensations” program
