Michael Vick “Postpones” Oprah Interview: Smart, Or Blown Opportunity? -media training
http://www.mediatrainingworldwide.com -media training, presentation training http://www.tjwalker.com
But why Vick called the interview off, and for what reasons, aren’t the issues of the moment. This is: was it a good idea or not? There are arguments out there for both sides.

Now you would think that journalists at NPR would have a better ear for what people find offensive and insensitive. But the good news is that conservatives are feeling as negative toward NPR today as much as usual.

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.

Ann Coulter, Sound Bite Queen
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Best Speaker of the Day, blogging, Body Language, celebrities, Government & Politics, Politics on February 14, 2011
Once again Ann Coulter stole the show at the annual conservative gathering in Washington known as CPAC. 10,000 conservative activists listened to dozens of presidential candidates and pundits. Here’s an example of what made Coulter so popular:
“[President Obama] turned over our entire healthcare system to the Department of Motor Vehicles. You know those interminable lines at the DMV. Now imagine you’re standing in one of those lines, but this time you’re in a hospital gown that’s open in back. That’s Obamacare.”
Public speaking moment of the day: LeBron James confronts his heckler in Detroit
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Best Speaker of the Day, Body Language, celebrities, CEOs/Financial, Crisis Communications, Public Speaking Skills, tip of the day, Training Community on February 14, 2011
by Mike Bako -At this point in his career Lebron James has heard it all from opposing fans. The boos, the cheers, the cursing and through it all he has continuously preformed at a high level. At times it almost seemed like he used it as fuel to reach even greater heights.
So why did he decide to verbally confront a fan in Detroit over heckling that he was receiving? It certainly was not the first time he had heard it from the Detroit crowd. What was different this time was that his small children were nearby and he did not want them hearing the curses coming out of the fans mouth.
NY Times Op-Ed by ElBaradei: The Next Step for Egypt’s Opposition
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Government & Politics, Politics on February 11, 2011
Mohamed ElBaradei’s column in Today’s New York Times reveals much about who he is. The fact that at a time when he is, presumably, very busy, he takes the time to reach out to the West in general and the United States in particular, is significant. ElBaradei cares about the international community’s opinion and specifically the United States view toward Egypt. He wants to have good relations with us.
ElBaradei also does a masterful job of oh-so-gently chastising the United States for not being stronger and earlier supporters of the Egyptian opposition and coming out against Mubarak. After a lifetime work in high level diplomatic circles, ElBaradei knows the best way to convince someone to change is to focus on their own self-interest and to cite their own values in defense of that policy. ElBaradei very diplomatically makes the case that the US is spending a fortune trying to create democracy around the world and here is a case where it’s just happenings, so why are we jumping up and down helping them?
French President Nicholas Sarkozy Speaks Out Against Multiculturalism
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Best Speaker of the Day, blogging, Body Language, Communications, Crisis Communications, Government & Politics on February 11, 2011
Sarkozy joins leaders from Britain, Germany and Spain who have all spoken out against multiculturalism. Sarkozy also proclaims that multiculturalism has been a “failure.”
How will liberal democracies continue to assimilate immigrants? The key word is assimilate, in the eyes of these leaders. This battle is going to continue to brew and we are going to see more and more speeches on this topic in the months and years to come.
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.
