Your boss calls. “Any volunteers for the next presentation?”

“NOT ME!”

Right? If you’re like most of the people on this planet, volunteering to present in front of a group is not on your ‘must-do’ list. So, hiding under a rock and slinking down in your seat may be your first urge. This is the first thing that pops into your head.

But wait. This could just be force of habit.

If it is, here’s a taste of what you are not saying:

“Oh Yes! I’ll do it! This is an opportunity for me! This is an opportunity to communicate my point of view. This is my chance to shine.”

Sure, you still dream about being the leader. But you’re hiding out in a cave. You’re hiding behind habitual words.

BIG MISTAKE.

Hiding in the cave of “NOT ME” is a really bad idea.

It’s habits like these that guarantee you won’t get noticed. And you won’t move ahead in your career.

You know what leaders do to get ahead? Presenting ideas!

You know what you need to do to get ahead? Presenting your ideas!

So, let me ask you a question.

Haven’t you had enough with spinning your wheels, working like crazy but not being recognized? Isn’t it time to kick these two words “NOT ME!” out?

Fire them. Toss them out. Hey, while you’re at it – torch them.

Why do these five letters “N-O-T-M-E” have so much power? Why is it so easy to keep wrapping yourself in the chains of these five letters?

Between you and me, it’s just plain and simple. Force of habit.

This is how you stay in the background. It’s how you guarantee no one will think of giving you a promotion. It’s a rock solid recipe for a dead-end career.

Even if you are brilliant. Even if you are the very best person for the job. If you don’t get comfortable giving presentations, no one will know you exist.

“NOT ME” is how you stay the victim.

“NOT ME” is how you stay in the sidelines and never get a promotion. “NOT ME” is how you paint yourself into a corner – and go nowhere.

So instead of risking all that pain and suffering, get ready. One of the easiest and fastest ways to get ready is to watch videos and get comfortable with the skills of presenting. You can watch free videos on You Tube.

But, as I often say, you get what you pay for. There’s only a certain amount of insight and practical tips you’ll get for free. If you want to really hardwire your skills and transform your career, get professional training.

Get the skills and tools you need so you can jump up the next time your boss calls out, “Any volunteers?”

It’s time to take your own destiny in your hands.

Stingray leather is a very strong. It is much stronger than cow leather because of its physical composition. With cow and other types of leathers, the underlying fibers tend to run in a parallel direction to each other, while in stingray leather, the fibers are random and most often criss crossing each other, forming a much tighter bond between the fibers. While some leathers are easily torn, stingray leather is not, due to this cross hatch arrangement of the fibers. Additionally stingray leather has those famous little bumps that are actually calcium scales that were a protection for the stingray against some predators. Once the stingray skin is tanned, these bumps are rock hard and add additional strength to the material composition of the leather and also add a guard against scratching, cutting and results in an increased anti-tear strength.

While this products made from stingray leather are of exceptional strength, they still need proper care to make their beauty last as long as the leather itself.
Here are some tips to take care of your stingray leather item that will help extend the life and beauty of your stingray product.

1 – Removing Dirt – Removing dirt from a stingray items can many times be done by simply wiping the item with a slightly (barely) dampened cloth. In tough spots you can use a very mild soap with water and gently clean the surface area. Do not rub too hard as most stingray skins are both dyed and surface painted to get that beautiful color. Scrubbing too hard may remove some of the surface color of your stingray leather and result in an unsightly showing of the grey-ish scales underneath.

2 – Storage of Stingray products – Never keep leather products in contact with other leather products when storing them. The finishing on each product may cause them to stick together. Do not wrap leather products in plastic bags as this causes drying. To store your stingray items (or any leather items for that matter) it is always best to store them wrapped in paper. Tissue paper works best for these types of products. You could also use a cloth bag that many manufacturers provide with each of their products as a storage container. Keep your stingray products stored away from heat and moisture. Never leave any leather products exposed to direct heat or sunlight as this quickly dries out the natural oils and moisture.

3 – Drying your stingray product – If for any reason your stingray product gets wet, (rain soaked, dropped in water, etc.) do not add heat to it to speed up the drying process. Pretty much the worst thing you could do is heat the leather as this not only removes the water but also the natural oils inherent in the leather. Do not place the leather in direct sunlight. Place the item on a dry surface, preferably on a piece of tissue paper and let it dry at room temperature slowly and naturally.

You can use a water repellant made for exotic skins to protect it from moisture. It is usually available in spray form and should not contain any silicone as this may break down the leather.

Many customers have recommended and highly rated a leather conditioner by the Bickmore Company called Bick 4 leather conditioner. It does not darken finished leather products, and is great for a variety of leather goods, including exotic skin products. In addition to using this product to condition and maintain the appearance of your leather items, the company also recommends using the Bickmore Leather Repellant spray to help make your item more water repellant and protect against future water damage.
