Connect with your audience.
Dr. Jim Blumenthal drblu@akcsm.com
Before launching into your presentation, take 10-15 seconds to look
out at your audience. Silently, accept their welcome and give them yours.
Then tell them something personal about you that will help them connect with
you. I start my talks on ADD/ADHD by telling them how much time I spent in
the principal's office as a kid. Suddenly, I'm an "Us" to everyone
who ever had to stay after school and they have a hunch that I just might
know what I'm talking about because I've been there. If they feel an affinity
with you, it almost doesn't matter what you have to say or if you goof up
along the way. They'll be with you and then the little imperfections just
make you seem even more human.

Discovering Your Best Innovative "JobTitle"
Joe Nicassio -- joe@RapidResultsMarketing.com
A good way to determine what job title to use is what I call "The
Cocktail Party Response"
When I'm social, when asked, "What do you do?"
I used to respond with "I'm a marketing wizard"
A typical response was, "Oh Really?", along with a look
like, "Hmmm, he sure is confident/arrogant"
(My interpretation)
Or "I'm a Marketing Consultant" (Yawn)
Then I tried other titles, constantly testing, until I received a
consistently more favorable responses.
When asked now, "What do you do?"
I now respond with, "I'm a Marketing Philosopher"
For some reason, that title consistently invokes curiosity.
"What does a Marketing Philosopher Do?"
"Do you make much money doing that?"
For some reason, Marketing Philosopher comes off softer as Marketing
Wizard.
Your job title is an opportunity to reflect your uniqueness, and
your value.
Don't overlook this easy, lucrative, and fun aspect of interpersonal
marketing.

Burt Dubin burt@burtdubin.com
Johnny Carson said it: People
will pay far more to be entertained that they will pay for something useful."
Consider adding more humor and other entertaining aspects to your performance. I call these non-core elements Program Values.
Think about it - -most great speaker/trainers include entertainment,
pure entertainment as part of their program.
I don't mean one-liners, though there's nothing wrong with one-liners
that fit.
I mean point-proving stories that are entertaining. Stories that include humor and pathos.
Stories that touch hearts and tug heart-strings.
Stories that ring true and make heads nod, (not nod off), in agreement
and recognition.

Get Paid to Walk
Mack Dryden -- mcdryden@mindspring.com
I often need a luggage cart for my equipment when I get off a flight.
Instead of renting a cart or paying a skycap, I've adopted the attitude that
I'll get the system to pay me to exercise instead. I need to stretch after
a flight, anyway, and I can always find an abandoned cart within a couple
hundred yards of baggage pickup. So I set out briskly on my mission, grab
a cart, and the system pays me two bucks for working my muscles and getting
my heart rate up!

Use the AutoContent Wizard and Templates to Get Started with PowerPoint
Tom Bunzel -- tom@professorpowerpoint.com
The easiest way to get a feel for PowerPoint is to use the AutoContent
Wizard, which takes advantage of PowerPoint’s content templates.
Most users are familiar with PowerPoint’s design templates which provide
pretty backgrounds. Less well known but very helpful are content templates
that include sample text and suggestions for outlining and conceptualizing
your talk, and are targeted to the specific type of presentation you are intending
to create. You can access these content templates by going through the
AutoContent Wizard, which becomes available in almost all versions of PowerPoint
by simply clicking File and then New on the Main Menu. When you begin
the Wizard you can choose from dozens of fully scripted boilerplate presentations.
When you’re done, you just revise the slides that are already created,
and use the design that was chosen by the “Wizard”. It’s
also a great way to get started practicing the difference between editing
and showing your presentations. More information is available on this
technique at http://www.professorpowerpoint.com.

Working With Speakers Bureaus
Andrea H. Gold -- info@goldstars.com
I recommend the book Working With Speakers Bureaus: What It Takes
to Build Good Bureau Relationships written by Bryan Townsend CSP, CPAE. This book will help propel and sustain
your professional speaking career. It's a small book packed with lots of wisdom
that can be applied right away.
All speakers working with bureaus will find it useful, whether your
relationship with bureaus is new or old. You can breeze through this book
quickly. But the information you will glean from it can help YOU MAKE THOUSANDS
of dollars. At the same time, it can also SAVE YOU FROM LOSING THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS by not knowing this information.
To order http://www.goldstars.com/bryan_townsend_product.htm.
A bonus list of “Bureau Pet Peeves” will be included in your book
purchases.

Share Your Enthusiasm and Optimism
Rev. Dr. Louise-Diana
louise-diana@innerfitness.com
Although it might be obvious, remember that one of the greatest gifts
that we can bring to an audience as speakers is to share our enthusiasm and
optimism. We have all sat through presentations that are flat and monotone.
Remember that joy is catching, and your audience can catch that spirit of
joy and hope. Let's bring that to any presentation that we do!

"Cash for Contrarians"
Dr. Marlene Caroselli -- MCCPD@aol.com
The last I knew, management guru Tom Peters was charging $75,000
for a one-hour speaking engagement.
Why are organizations willing to pay so much for his keynote wisdom?
In part, because he takes the contrarian view of things. He is fond of saying,
for example, that every corporation needs at least one weirdo on staff. That
weirdo is the one who can often be found pushing the envelope through the
window of possibility. So, if your audiences seem dulled by your delivery
or if your proposal titles are not winning you the contracts you want, try
spicing up your speaker's persona by taking an opposing and possibly even
"weird" point of view.
