The Public Speaker Brian Willsie is the winner of the contest to help me spread the word about the show! He suggested I create short, free, fun videos for middle school through University level. I'd like to do this as a listener supported project, so I'll need your help! I'll donate my time to do it...I just need others to donate resources and help (video production, editing, marketing..) If you want to help please contact me!

The Public Speaker This week on the show I wrote about helping my friend Henry take a jumble of ideas and turning it into an effective presentation. Having a process makes the transformation fast and easy. (At least I think so...what do you think?)

I think it's useful to do again in time...every 5 to 10 years and see how it changes. Try to keep your results somewhere you can find them again that far in the future.

What can I say, but you're a smart woman! What's that phrase?...oh yea, "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery!"
Stacie Emelander Voskuil

Stacie Emelander Voskuil Just found your podcast last week and have listened to them every chance I could. LOVE them. Can you give some advice about women in the workplace. I was promoted 8 monhts ago and since then the other women treat me so poorly. Talking negatively about me amongst themselves and with other professionals, etc.. It is horrible. I feel attacked most days.

The Public Speaker

The Public Speaker This coming Saturday, May 2nd I'll be in NYC at LaidOffCamp http://cl.gs/UEtmW7 delivering a free presentation with Marc A. Wolfe. The talk is called "Putting Your Best Cyberface Forward". It's intended for people looking for work, freelancers & small business owners who want to understand how to make a great first impression. Of course, today's first impressions are online! (Don't have a specific time, yet.)

Monica Thinking of you: Was just reading an interesting piece in the Nutrition Entrepreneurs newsletter (subgroup of ADA) on the difference between a professional speaker and a professional who speaks. They contend that PWSs misrepresenting themselves as PSs make the true PSs look bad!

Julianna Zhang Ur podcast is very helpful! Thanks!

Juan Hi Lisa, what a great podcast... !!!

The Public Speaker In your meetings do you use a "parking lot", a "two-minute warning", or a "no laptop" rule? Find out how these and other strategies can help you to prepare and deliver a more effective and productive meeting http://cl.gs/qp6Utt @Donna just for you!

Donna
Donna
Really great suggestions. Thank you. I like the one about starting on time and would like to add (from Mr. Manners) "never be late to your own meeting"
The Public Speaker
The Public Speaker
Yep, you can't start on time if you're not there!
Donna
Donna
I liked your suggesions about 2 minute and 1 minute warnings and then parking lot. That will help a lot
Donna Barber

Donna Barber Hello Lisa, I have recently started listening to your podcast and have taken so much away already. I have been going to many meetings and will begin training on facilitation. I would love your tips on those skills.

The Public Speaker

The Public Speaker Do you practice, practice, practice your talk then choke? For things we've practiced many times, turns out it's better run on autopilot then to think about it. I found this to be SO TRUE! My Salsa dancing teacher kept saying, "Lisa, don't think about it!" Here's an in depth PDF from Scientific American http://cl.gs/pJyhJN & an article from The Wall Street Journal http://cl.gs/sNQ25P that explains!

The Public Speaker

The Public Speaker Do you know how to gracefully receive feedback? This week on the show I talk about a 3-step process for opening and honestly listening to feedback. http://cl.gs/A2zqpQ (By the way if you've got feedback for me, please, I'd love to hear it!)

Donna

I have used the word feedback more this week than ever in my life. I really find it useful. Thanks again
The Public Speaker

The Public Speaker @Kate Ferguson I feel the pain in the emails I receive. I wish there were more I could do. By the way, I was bullied at work once too. I ended up quitting.

Kate Ferguson

Kate Ferguson I think it's wonderful that you're increasing awareness of workplace bullying, It's unfortunatly all to common and is often soul destroying. Thanks for your help in public speaking too. I find your podcasts really interesting!

The Public Speaker Here's a link to a research article on effective feedback. http://cl.gs/ZBGyZ5 It suggests that more frequent "conversations" seem to be more motivational for the receiving party.
