Speaking/Presentation Tips
1. If you have told a personal story that tells something about yourself to friends and they all laughed, you may wish to incorporate this into a presentation IF it helps make a point.
2. Don’t start by saying "a funny thing happened on the way over here tonight" unless it really happened, and it was funny.
3. If your humor doesn’t have a point to it, then you are just trying to be a comedian and people will compare you to Jerry Seinfeld and other famous comedians. (you won’t seem very funny in comparison)
4. When speaking to smaller audiences let people ask questions throughout the presentation; don’t force people to wait until the end
TV/Media Tips
5. If you are wearing an earpiece during a remote TV interview and you lose the volume, quietly state your name and say that you can’t hear anything. The producer should be able to hear you and make the necessary changes.
6. Get glare proof glasses or have your existing glasses glare proofed.
7. If you want to be a good guest on a particular TV show, watch it regularly.
Crisis Communications Tips
8. If you have finished your answer and the reporter says nothing and looks at you like he/she wants you to say more, don’t say anymore. Either stare back and say nothing or repeat your basic message.
9. If you flubbed or stumbled while delivering a prepared sound bite during a recorded interview, just stop, take a deep breath and start over again from the beginning.
10. In a crisis situation, it is even more important that usual to rehearse several times on video.
