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.

Ben Sherwood:The Movie from Roone Arledge on Vimeo.
You’ve got to watch this to believe it. People really seem to hate this guy. Is this the next trend in office politics, the attack video? It looks like it’s really going to pay off to start being nice to everyone, or at least anyone who knows how to edit video.
George Lopez Is (Sort of, in 8 years) Planning On Running For Mayor Of Los Angeles
Posted by TJ Walker in Uncategorized on December 22, 2010
I don’t place a lot of stock in what people say their are going to do in eight years, but Lopez may have many of the raw talents needed to be a successful politician. He has high name ID, rich friends, money, and an ability to communicate well through the media. Governor Arnold’s mixed success not withstanding, I expect more and more movie and TV stars to take up politics in the future (especially when they are past their prime and can no longer generate huge Hollywood paydays).

Now Chinese Animators Are Mocking Obama For Having Clinton Speak at Press Conference
Posted by TJ Walker in Communications, Crisis Communications, Government & Politics, media relations, Media Training, Public Speaking Skills, reputation management on December 15, 2010
This story has bigger legs than I originally though it would have. One of the hallmarks of begin down in politics is that all news about you is incredibly bad news. Obama is in that phase now. Watch this hilarious Chinese animation video and the whole incident.

Washington Post Profiles former Sen. Rick Santorum and his quest for the Presidency
Posted by TJ Walker in Communications, Government & Politics, Media, Politics, Presentation Skills Training, Public Speaking Skills, reputation management on December 12, 2010
Is this a joke? Nobody liked Rick Santorum when he was in the Senate and nobody misses him much since he was kicked out of office in a huge landslide in 2006 by 18 points.
Sure, it’s not unprecedented for someone to lose statewide office and then win the Presidency—Richard Nixon did it after losing the California Governor’s race.

The Seven Key Speaking Rules Sen. Bernie Sanders BROKE while giving the most-talked about speech of 2010
Posted by TJ Walker in Communications, Debate Central, Government & Politics, Great Lectures, Keynote Speaking, Presentation Skills Training, Public Speaking Skills on December 12, 2010
Sen. Bernie Sanders gave an 8 hour and 37 minute speech on the floor of the Senate and has since become an Internet sensation and a hero to liberals/progressives as his speech has become the most discussed of 2010. Bernie did it HIS way, but he also shows how many of the so-called rules of speaking are based on fallacy.
Rule number one: be short and concise.
Right wing media cook up another “Scandal” about Obama “dissing” Clinton
Posted by TJ Walker in Communications, Government & Politics, media relations, Media Training, Politics, Public Speaking Skills, reputation management on December 11, 2010
This bit of nonsense ranks right up there with the so-called Obama ‘terrorist” fist bump. Yesterday, Obama was meeting with Bill Clinton in the white house to discuss the new tax compromise. The two then held a spontaneous press conference to discuss with reporters. After awhile, Obama told Clinton that the First lady was waiting and that he must leave and that Bill should carry on. Clinton being Clinton, he kept on talking.
The right wing media is now spinning this as a “PR disaster” and a humiliation of Clinton by Obama. Anyone with half a brain who watched the video would conclude something dramatically different.
