"He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense."

- Joseph Conrad


Technology is great if it doesn't get you fired!

A few years ago, I attended a presentation where three clowns, I mean speakers, made a presentation. They did just about everything wrong. However, the worst part was their use of technology.

Public Speaking To Market Your Business - What's This Signature Speech Thing All About?

"Public speaking is a good way to market my business. Does anyone know what's the best way to do that?"

This is the same question I see posted all over the Internet by entrepreneurs in every kind of imaginable business. From massage therapists to house cleaners, from coaches to network marketers, everyone wants to know about putting together a speech. The good news is the word is out: public speaking is an efficient way to get new business. But the question remains: what's the most effective way to do that? And who's going to listen to me? And is this gonna cost me anything?

The answers may surprise you. I've been speaking in front of audiences for most of my life. But only after I started my coaching and consulting practice did I truly understand the power of public speaking to market a business. Since I've put together what I call my "Signature Speech," my business has sky-rocketed.

This week's Book on Public Speaking:

A Funny thing happened on the way to the boardroom: Using Humor in Business Speaking (Paperback)
by Michael Iapoce

Perhaps the best of its genre, this book offers detailed advice on the effective use of humor in business situations such as presentations, meetings, or seminars. The author is a speech writer who places the onus of boring corporate meetings on the speakers themselves. No one is too important to consider their audience, and Mr. Iapoce effectively nudges “suits” to loosen their ties and deliver their messages effectively. Its comedic tips are simply that: tips for catching the attention of listeners thus ensuring that one is “heard.”

He presents the basics of writing humorously in a clear, step-by-step fashion, and reveals invaluable tricks of the trade for creating one’s own custom-tailored jokes using techniques employed by professional comedy writers. Also provides short one-line jokes arranged by subject, as well as longer, story-type jokes arranged by the meaning or the point that the story illustrates.

What makes this book so good is that you can make jokes of your own that fit the occasion — it isn’t just a run of the mill joke book.

 “Excellent! It even works for lawyers!, Few gatherings cry out for humor as loudly as those in which all the attendees are lawyers. Let’s face it: they’re usually the joke, not the jokers”

 

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

 

Winston Churchill
