What made Reagan such a great communicator? What were his speaking secrets?
Presentation training tip: Your colleagues and competitors spent on average 12, 16, or even 20 years on daily instruction on how to write well in school, but most of them never received more than 15 minutes on how to speak well. This is an opportunity for you.

Tim Ferris Is a PR Genius – Media Training
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Communications, Presentation Skills Training, Professional Speakers, public relations, Public Speaking Skills, publishing, reputation management on February 3, 2011
Those who read my blog or watch my videos regularly know that I think Tim Ferris is a complete charlatan and that his book “The 4-Hour Workweek” is the biggest load of cr*p ever write.
But I do think Ferris is a brilliant sell-promoting genius and much can be learned from his tactics (one of which is to work 24 hours a day badgering people to write about you or have you on their programs).
Public Speaking Tip of the Day: People do “data dumps” because it seems “safe.” But if your goal is actual communication, data-dumping is actually the most dangerous thing you can do.

Harvey Weinstein: Why Media “Synergy” Doesn’t Work
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, celebrities, CEOs/Financial, Communications, Crisis Communications, Government & Politics, Pitching, Professional Speakers, Social Media on January 31, 2011
The New York Times does a major profile of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein today. Weinstein is a perfect example of why media synergy seems like a good idea, but never is.
The story chronicles Weinstein’s ownership of TV shows, social media sites (A Small World—remember that?), a fashion label, and a cable network among other things.

Momentum Is Gaining In the Senate for Filibuster Reform
Posted by TJ Walker in Communications, Debate Central, Government & Politics, Presentation Skills Training, Professional Speakers on December 31, 2010
The Democrats in the Senate are advancing their plans to change filibuster rules in the new Congress. Regardless of your politics, this is GREAT news if you are a lover of speeches.
If the filibuster rules go back to their old style, that will mean Senators will have to speak for hour after hour if they want to prevent a vote from happening on a bill. Sure, some speeches will be boring (Sen. Strom Thurmond resorted to reading the phone book when he filibustered for 24 hours against desegregation in the 1950s). But some of the speeches Will be fascinating, especially when a Senator is tired and has run out of prepared text–then we’ll really hear some fun stuff!

CNN Anchor Runs Out of Breath
Posted by TJ Walker in Communications, News, Presentation Skills Training, Professional Speakers, Public Speaking Skills on December 26, 2010
Martin Savidge is a broadcasting pro, but he ran out of breath on the air the other day. Lesson: don’t ever rush to a speaking gig, whether it’s in front of the camera or in front of a live audience. Always give yourself plenty of time so you don’t run out of breath.
