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.)

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.)
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.

President Obama Gives 491 Speeches, Statements and Remarks in 2010
Posted by TJ Walker in advertising, Analysis, Audio/Video Technology, Authors Corner, Best Speaker of the Day, blogging, Body Language, celebrities, CEOs/Financial, Government & Politics, Speaking Competition on January 3, 2011
People ask me all the time “TJ, what’s the secret to being a great speaker?” part of the answer is simply speaking a lot. The best speakers in the world also tend to peak a lot more than other people do. Obama spoke 491 times last year.
Practice doesn’t make you perfect, but it does make you better than someone who speaks once or twice a year. The only person I can think of who speaks more often that Obama is Bill Clinton.

The next time you laugh at the long lines of contestants waiting to audition for a reality show take a look at this story from TMZ. Snooki from MTV’s Jersey Shore is cashing in on her reality fame at the tune of $11,000 a day for an appearance at a tanning salon.
This speaks to the larger issue of fame and why so many people chase it on reality tv shows. If you can gain notoriety or infamy you can use it as a personal checkbook for many years after your show or appearance has gone off the air.

Video does not lie and what it told us about Arizona Cardinals quarterback Derek Anderson was that he was laughing on the sidelines of an embarrassing 27-6 loss to the San Fransisco 49ers last night. Why then did Anderson get so upset when reporters questioned him about it after the game? Getting so upset that he stormed off from the press conference.
Here’s the reality. Anderson was laughing during the game, so he was lying after it. Getting pissed and talking loudly and walking off doesn’t change that fact.

A lot of smart people roll their eyes at beauty pageants these days (not without good reason), but the pact remains that they are one of the few outlets for young women who want to be public speakers, spokespersons, and media figures. Young men can gain celebrity status, fame and early fortune my being high school and football stars in the way that women field hockey players just don’t get. having worked with a lot of beauty pageant contestants over the years, including a couple of Miss Universes, I can tell you, these women are not dumb or especially conservative or traditional.
