Ellen Is The New Oprah!
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, celebrities, Communications, Fear of Speaking, Social Media on November 11, 2010
The countdown to Oprah Winfrey leaving the broadcast airwaves has begun and it looks like Ellen DeGeneres is shaping up to be her likely successor as the queen of daytime. That is the opinion of Perez Hilton and I have to say that I agree with him. Ellen has the same friendliness and warmth of Oprah so it only makes sense that her show will be the new landing spot for celebrity interviews and human interest stories. She is already gearing her show to those themes and with Oprah out of her way, at least on the broadcast TV level, look for even more high profile guests and stories next season and beyond.

Art of the victory speech – 9 key elements
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Best Speaker of the Day, blogging, Body Language, Debate Central, Fear of Speaking, Foreign Languages, Government & Politics on November 2, 2010
Congratulations, you got more votes and you have won public office. Everyone is happy at your party and it’s time to give your victory speech. It’s important to realize that now is not the time to relax; you must win the battle of public opinion on a daily basis for your whole term of office and that battle begins now! You want to continue the positive vibes that helped you win the election and you don’t want to seem arrogant or petty. Please keep these tips in mind:
1. Congratulate your opponent on a hard and well-fought campaign (even if you think he was the sleaziest slime ball to ever crawl out of a political cesspool).
2. If your opponent called you to formally concede to you, mention this fact and thank him/her for being gracious.
3. Specifically compliment your opponent for some idea or policy platform position where you though he/she had a good idea. Say you’d like to be able to call your opponent for advice and help in advancing the cause together. Everyone will know that this is a lie and your opponent would rather hear from the IRS auditing office than hear from you, but it’s a time-honored, respectable lie, so say it like you mean it.
4. Make the victory not about yourself, but about the policy initiatives you fought for.
5. Highlight your #1 campaign pledge and how you aren’t going to rest until it is enacted.

Why the new iPad teleprompter app is a bad thing – public speaking

So there’s a new teleprompter app on the iPad for speakers, should you run out, get it, and use it?
Absolutely not!!!
TelePrompTers are a bad idea for speakers most of the time, even in ideal situations. But the main idea of a teleprompter for an anchorman or a politician is that they can still maintain eye contact with you because they are reading their script off a clear piece of glass—hence they can still make eye contact with you. But the iPad (at least the ones I’ve seen) aren’t clear. It’s just a place to have your notes roll off down the screen. This means you will have to look down and ignore your audience in order to use it.The bigger problems for all teleprompter users are that they tend to make people speaker at the same speed, the same volume the same tone and the same pitch. This makes people sound robotic, boring and monotone. The key to using a TelePrompTer effectively is to change your volume, speed, pitch and to occasionally pause.
Using an iPad teleprompter while speaking in front of any audience makes about as much since as playing on Match.com in front of your date—you have the technology to do it, but is that really going to help you with your audience?

I want to solve this problem but can’t work it out. At work I have to answer the phone, I have answered the phone at work probably over 5000 times. I work in a big office with over 40 people. When its noisy and my phone rings I can answer it fine and talk fine. When very few people are about and my phone rings I can answer it fine and talk fine.
Can you spot the 10 common mistakes this horrible speaker makes?
