Speaking/Presentation Tips

1. When people tell you they loved your speech, ask them exactly what part they loved about your speaking and EXACTLY what points they remembered.

2. Make mental notes on what resonated and then give greater emphasis on those parts in your next speech.

3. Don’t finish your speech while walking back to your seat.

4. Bullet point lists work well on paper and email newsletters (like this one), but they don't make for a speech.

TV/Media Tips

5. When you are on TV, you are not giving a public speech. You are having an engaging conversation with one or two people.

6. Ask the TV or radio producer when you are expected at the studio and then arrive 10 minutes earlier than that.

7. Make sure the powder makeup you use on TV is the same color as your skin, not lighter and not darker.

8. Don’t wear lip gloss or any makeup that is shiny.

Crisis Communications Tips

9. Do you like it when possible business partners, clients, or dates don’t return your phone calls? The media will hate you if you don’t return their calls.

10. If you got your facts wrong, admit it immediately.
