New ‘Got Milk?’ campaign seeks to help men dealing with… PMS. Who gets the better PR from this campaign, men or women?
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, public relations, Sales and Marketing, Social Speaking, Video, Workplace on July 13, 2011
Starting Monday, a new campaign hopes to encourage milk consumption through a less neutral angle: Milk as a cure for PMS, and for the men who have to deal with women during “that time of the month.”
TJ Walker offers his analysis of the campaign on NBC News NY
Presentation Training Tip: If you get invited to give a speech, then speak. If you get invited to a reading, then read. (However, great authors don’t read at their own book readings, they tell stories instead.)

Piers Morgan Conducts Worst Interview Ever
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, blogging, Body Language, celebrities, Media Training, Social Speaking, speech writing, Story Telling, tip of the day, Training Community on February 9, 2011
Last night I caught Piers Morgan on CNN. He was interviewing Michael Oher, the guy who was the central character in the Sandra Bullock movie, The Blind Side. I hate to be mean, but the interview was an embarrassment for all involved.
Oher said two “uhs” and three “ya knows” for every single other word that came out of his mouth. It was painful and horrific. Look, not everyone has to be great at everything.
Presentation Training Tip: If someone interrupts you before you finish, stop, and then continue where you were. Don’t let an interrupter disrupt your message.

How to succeed using new and social media -media training
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, blogging, Body Language, celebrities, Social Media, Social Speaking, Video, Voice, Workplace on February 5, 2011
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.

John McCain Tweets That it’s Time for Mubarak to Step Down
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Government & Politics, Politics, Social Media, Social Speaking on February 3, 2011
John McCain came close to being President of the United States and is well-known around the world, but he is still just a member of the minority party in the Senate.
So I think it’s fine for him to tweet foreign policy positions on Twitter. But Presidents still need a more official way of communicating policy shifts of such magnitude. Don’t expect to see Obama tweeting that North Korea’s dictator should step down anytime soon.

California Student Suspended From School For Calling a Teacher a Nasty Name—On Facebook
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Communications, Crisis Communications, Debate Central, Public Speaking Skills, Social Media, Social Speaking on February 2, 2011
I don’t believe freedom of speech should exist for students—in a classroom. Teachers have to be able to impose discipline and require respect.
But suspending a student for calling a teacher fat and another nasty name on Facebook? That seems ridiculous. What next, wiretapping students’ cell phones to make sure they don’t disparage the principal?
PRESENTATION TRAINING TIP: If you try to memorize your speech, it will only make you nervous because the chances are so high that you will get off track.

Rick Sanchez Tweets Cry for Help “Wish media would look beyond 5 seonds of my life”
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Audio/Video Technology, Best Speaker of the Day, blogging, Body Language, celebrities, Crisis Communications, Media, reputation management, Social Speaking on January 5, 2011
Sorry, Rick. It doesn’t work that way. To many in the media, you will always be that guy who traffics in anti-Semitic nonsense. Politicians don’t get a break, so why should you.
Prediction, Sanchez will get a rebirth in talk radio and in his own multi-media online platform. But don’t expect to see him as a network news anchor again.
