“How Am I Doing?” Ed Koch

Bill Clinton and Mike Bloomberg spoke at Ed Koch’s funeral this morning. As practitioners of effective communication, treat yourself to the videos of their eulogies for the former Mayor. They are wonderful examples of the happy blend of content and delivery: well-thought out, rhythmic, descriptive, spiced with humor, visual, personalized, conversational, passionate, and concise. They captured the man, the city he so enjoyed, and the love people had for the guy who I can remember stopping citizens on the street and asking, “How am I doing?”
