Kim Kardashian’s media talents – media training
Posted by TJ Walker in Analysis, Communications, Media, Media Training, Presentation Skills Training on October 18, 2010
I attended a Kim Kardashian press conference today at Rockefeller Center (thrown by a client of mine) and it was a bizarre experience. Instead of my usual critiquing of a celebrity’s speaking skills I’ll comment on the weird aspects of the event.
For starters, there was just the sheer number of photographers and Videographers. There were dozens and dozens of them.

Your Twitter bio: How to write it and why it matters
By Jessica Levco
Let’s just skip the drill about giving an elevator pitch.
Because if you’re on Twitter, you don’t get the luxury of introducing yourself in a 30-second ride (or being stuck listening to someone drone on and on about their career).

Why the Twitterverse Turned on Bieber
By Evann Gastaldo
Twitter—or at least all the teenage girls on Twitter—loves (really, really loves) Justin Bieber. Until he goes and gets himself photographed making out in the back of a car.

Why PR May Not Win The Social Media Agency Wars
by Stephanie Schwab
The default position lately seems to be that social media is being grasped best by PR agencies, and a lot of PR agencies are winning social media business. As a former PR agency person who’s also worked in a social media shop, I’d agree that there are a lot of reasons that PR firms should win the social agency wars. But there are a lot of strikes against them too

rough draft for 60-90 minute keynote speech on success and personal development
Posted by TJ Walker in Great Lectures, Keynote Speaking, Pitching, Presentation Skills Training, Professional Speakers, Public Speaking Skills, Sales and Marketing, Speaking Competition on May 1, 2009
(rough draft for 60-90 minute keynote speech)
(Note from TJ: does anyone have any thoughts on how to make a speech like this more palatable? This is essentially a motivational speech about success that debunks all other motivational gurus. This is a success/motivation speech that is anti success/motivational speech)
In my attempt to show the emperor is wearing no clothes, I am concerned that it can come across as too negative, harsh and nasty. Thoughts?)
Review of Teleprompterpresident.com
Posted by TJ Walker in Body Language, Crisis Communications, Fear of Speaking, Government & Politics, Humor, Media Training, Politics, Presentation Skills Training, Public Speaking Skills, Technology on April 12, 2009
I just stumbled across a website, www.teleprompterpresident.com, which chronicles every single mistake Obama makes on camera (pus it fabricates a few in a funny and mean-spirited way). Even though I suspect that the organizers of the site are avid opponents of Obama, I think they are doing a great service for him. Obama is on notice that every blunder will be magnified and re-played again and again. This would keep anyone on his or her rhetorical toes. And it is a great motivator for practice and speech rehearsal. My only regret about this website is that it can’t be duplicated for every public official in the world, every corporate leader and, indeed, anyone who ever has to speak to more than 3 people in a room.
