Speaking/Presentation Tips
1. If the people who came up to you after you deliver a presentation and told you how great you were can't name any specific message points you were trying to deliver, rest assured, you failed completely in your speech delivery, no matter how many nice things an audience members are saying.
2. Compliments to speakers are almost worthless unless they are highly specific.
3. Whenever possible, get members of your audience to provide written anonymous critiques and reviews of your speeches. People will be more honest and you will get higher quality critiques.
4. Always make yourself available as a last minute substitute speaker.
TV/Media Tips
5. Create a list of short and long term speaking goals for yourself along with a timeline.
6. The media didn’t make a mistake by quoting other people who disagree with you.
7. If another media outlet finds out about a story you have already promised as an exclusive, do two things: 1. Don’t lie, 2. Notify the reporter who was promised an exclusive that another media outlet has found out about the story.
8. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. If the media makes a minor mistake about you of no consequence, just ignore it.
9. When the media make a mistake about you, don’t assume they did it on purpose because they have a vendetta against you.
10. When necessary, politely and succinctly (50 words or less) write a correction and get it to the relevant reporter or editor within six hours.
