Speaking/Presentation Tips

1. Gesture with both hands, not just one hand.

2. People will be watching you long before you speak--avoid any nervous or annoying actions before you rise to speak.

3. Don't write out your speech from beginning to end--instead, try brainstorming a list of topics, ideas, and stories that vividly dramatize your central ideas.

4. If you do have to read or glance at notes, move your eyes down, not your entire head.

5. Get a free presentation training video. Send blank email to

TV/Media Tips

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

7. Don't use stupid, time wasting words and phrases like "if you will" to make yourself sound smart.

8. Don't waste time by saying, "as I mentioned earlier." Just repeat whenever you want to, you don't have to provide roadmaps to your whole conversation.

9. Pat yourself on the back for going to Business School, but don't say "going forward" when "in the future" is clearer.

10. A slight smile won't really look like a smile when you are on television; you'll just look confident and relaxed.
