A preview of an upcoming article in Pioneer Growing Point Magazine featuring Media Training Worldwide President Mike Bako discussing how anyone can improve their skills in dealing with the media:
Are beauty pageants sexist relics from the past, or are they modern tools for empowering women?
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Best Speaker of the Day, Body Language, celebrities on July 12, 2011
Actually, they are both. I’ve just returned from judging my second European beauty pageant and I can tell you that people are as fascinated as ever by beauty contests. Some people love them. Others despise them. I seem to be in the minority in that I really don’t have strong views either way.
To me, the fascinating thing about beauty pageants (beyond the pretty young women, of course) is that they do two things highly relevant to future business success:

Michael Vick To Sit Down With Oprah Winfrey
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, blogging, Body Language, celebrities, Communications, Crisis Communications, tip of the day on February 15, 2011
by Mike Bako – The media spotlight has shown brightly on Vick this year and he has not had any hiccups along the way. Vick is now in the home stretch of his rehabilitation tour and he will be crossing the finish line with a sit-down on Oprah Winfrey’s couch.
Vick has said and done the right things every step of the way this year. Aside from an interview with 60 Minutes he has said most of these things to the sports media. I think that going on Oprah is a good final step to reach some of those casual fans or people who still only associate his name with dog fighting and going to jail.

Obama Speaks Out Against Mubarak
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Communications, Crisis Communications, Government & Politics, Politics on February 11, 2011
The Obama Administration was clearly not happy with Mubarak’s head fake last night. Team Obama put out a statement criticizing the Egyptian’s failure to communicate clearly on what is happening.
You get the sense that the Obama administration is one straw away from breaking completely with Mubarak and just sending a jet to take him away to Paris.
Dick Cheney Gets Booed and Called a Draft Dodger at CPAC Convention
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Audio/Video Technology, Best Speaker of the Day, blogging, Body Language, celebrities, CEOs/Financial on February 11, 2011
One of the interesting things about public speaking is the unpredictability of the audience. You are never 100% certain what you will get.
At first blush, Dickey Cheney speaking to a group of conservatives at a Washington conference should be as friendly as a high school 50-year reunion.
Donald Trump Wows the Audience at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC)
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Best Speaker of the Day, blogging, Body Language, celebrities on February 11, 2011
Yep, nothing speaks out to conservative values as well as a thrice-married guy who wrote about his pro-choice views a few years ago and now claims to be pro-life. Donald, it turns out, you really CAN fool all the people all the time.

The Dumbest Judge in America – It Figures – Figures of Speech
Sarah Palin says there is a double standard: If she or any other woman cried like John Boehner, they’d be toast!
Posted by TJ Walker in Communications, Crisis Communications, Government & Politics, media relations, Media Training, Politics, Presentation Skills Training, reputation management on December 19, 2010
She’s right! (for once). Sure John Boehner has been mocked now that he is Speaker-elect, but a woman who had cried as much as Boehner had in the past would have never been elevated to such a position of power. Watch Sarah make unusually intelligently statements below.
