TipsForSpeakers

  1. How many ways can you make the same speech? I can think of 216 different ways.
  2. Identify a market, write a book, start speaking.
  3. Public speaking is a gift that should be used wisely.
  4. When in doubt don't say it.
  5. RT @PFripp: Public Speaking: Act confident & sincere. If you appear nervous or unsure, you may seem devious or incompetent.
  6. Audiences sense fear, stupidity, and manipulation.
  7. RT @OliviaMitchell: "A great proposal unrehearsed will lose out to the good one fully rehearsed." by @pitchcoach http://bit.ly/4NXfdt
  8. Twitter is just one way to get traffic to your site/blog.
  9. TheFlip and similar mini-video cameras are great for making videos you can put on YouTube.
  10. RT @AccordingToPugs If you want feedback on a pending speech, practice in front of a Pug. If he doesn't fall asleep, you're doing well.
  11. Speaking and Powerpointing are NOT the same. One is a skill, the other a tool.
  12. If you can speak well, you have a advantage.
  13. The best reference a speaker can have is a book that he/she has written. Being an author is very helpful to being a speaker.
  14. The more speakers you watch, the better. You'll learn what you want to emulate and what you want to avoid. Make lists.
  15. Turn off the sound and *watch* the television. How many different camera angles do you see?
  16. RT @Creativity Being creative is not the same as being artistic.
  17. Speakers can learn a lot just by looking at the audience.
  18. The best speakers don't need PowerPoint. Lincoln, FDR, Kennedy, King...didn't use it.
  19. As you are speaking, the audience is forgetting what you said. Give out handouts to be remembered!
  20. TED speakers won't win a Toastmaster's contest, but may change the world. There's more to speaking than speaking.
