Today’s show is another in a series of bonus episodes each featuring one of the incredible talks given by my participants in The Big Talk Academy as a part of our Virtual Showcase. This showcase is the culmination of their hard work as they cross the finish line to becoming certified speakers. 

These episodes give you a peek behind the curtain to witness the amazing Big Talks presented, and also give you exclusive access to my live feedback and direction I give to each speaker immediately following their performances.

This week’s episode features Cynthia Nakao and her talk, The Successful Bureaucrat Is a Selfless One.

Cynthia is the “Ethics Guru” for criminal justice professionals. As an advisor for the largest prosecutorial agency, she has a creative flair for inspiring the right action for the right reason.  Cynthia has presented to numerous government entities and associations. She is also an admitted foster dog failure.

In her informative and engaging Big Talk, Cynthia reveals how a successful bureaucrat is truly a selfless one. Negative images of the bureaucrats have become the prevailing attitude, and in her talk, Cynthia shows us how we all need a refresher in the decency and importance of public service. She discussed the power of selfless excellence, selfless courage, and selfless integrity.

In our own way, we should all seek to be that selfless bureaucrat.
