2. TV Media Tips

3. Crisis Tips

Speaking/Presentation Tips

1. Every day you speak to colleagues, clients and associates on areas of expertise without using notes. Public speaking should be no different.

2. Don't write your speech unless you are willing to re-write it 10 times.

3. Eliminate empty chairs from the room--you want a full house.

4. Your eyes are your most powerful weapon with your audience.

TV/Media Tips

.
5. When appearing on television, dress in a simple, boring manner, unless you are a fashion designer.

6. Don't wear White on TV. It's not that white looks bad, it's just that it is bright and it becomes the most noticeable thing on the TV screen. You want your face to be the most noticeable thing on the screen so viewers can focus on what you are saying.

7. Pass along newsworthy tips to reporters, even when the story has nothing to do with you and you have nothing to gain from the story.

8. Send media people thank you notes for taking the time to talk with you.


Crisis Communications Tip

9. Have the facts on your side, but you'd better have emotion on your side too.

10. The beauty of a crisis communications plan is that you won't have to "think" during a crisis. Instead you will just "do" what was already planned.
