If the acts do not engage the audience from the very beginning, the audience is bored, turned off, and doesn't want to listen any more.<br /><br />If you do <strong><a href="http://www.jackirose.com/default.asp">public speaking</a></strong> and make presentations, you are also a performer. You need to engage your audience from the very beginning or else they will tune out, be bored, and want you off the stage. They may not be booing you out loud, but they probably are booing you on the inside.<br /><br />Make sure your audience is applauding you on the inside so they want more of you and will listen to you throughout your entire presentation. How do you do that? Three ways:<br /><br />1 - Take command of the stage and appear confident<br />2 - Have a well-prepared opening that will engage your audience and get them interested<br />3 - Say it with confidence and charisma<br /><br />More free <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_articles.asp"><strong>public speaking skills</strong> tips</a>: <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">http://www.jackirose.com/</a>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-28968811731247540042008-07-29T17:20:00.001-04:002008-07-29T17:22:10.635-04:00How Much Time Should You Prepare For Your Presentation?In my teachings I do not give preparation times because I believe it is different for every person and for every presentation. Instead, here is the preparation formula I recommend:<br /><br />1 - Decide on the purpose and goal of your presentation<br />2 - Write down all the things you need to include in your presentation in order to produce that goal<br />3 - Write out your entire presentation verbatim (this doesn't mean you have to present it exactly how you wrote it)<br />4 - Revise your presentation to make it shorter (how can you say it in less words)<br />5 - Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse - in other words, practice reading your presentation out loud over and over again until you know it so well that all you need to do is refer to your notes to keep you on track<br /><br />I recommend a minimum of 4 times rehearsing out loud. And a minimum of once per day leading up to the presentation.<br /><br />More free <strong>public speaking tips</strong>: <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">www.JackiRose.com</a>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-10630911916369133312008-07-17T17:12:00.002-04:002008-07-17T17:15:36.118-04:00Public Speaking Skills Preview Ezine - Free TipsSneak Peak of August PEP Ezine... <strong>"Mistakes Presenters Make"<br /></strong><br />Here are <strong>six mistakes presenters</strong> often make.

If you decided to go on a 50 mile bike ride, you wouldn't jump on your bike one day and start riding 50 miles. You would prepare for the trip. Train for the trip. Start biking 5 miles, then 10, then 15, and so on. You may be a little nervous at first. You may have challenges to overcome, like hills, bad weather, a sore butt! But if you prepare, if you take on those challenges, and if you keep developing those muscles, you will become a great cyclist.<br /><br />The same principle applies to <strong>public speaking skills</strong>. Every presentation deserves <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_articles.asp">preparation </a>in order to be a success. Every <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/default.asp">presentation may have challenges</a> you need to overcome. And every presentation needs to be presented by you in order for you to develop your skills. As you prepare, take on challenges, and keep presenting, you will keep developing your skills and become a much better presenter than you are today.<br /><br />More free tips on public speaking skills at: <a href="http://www.publicspeakingcanbefun.com/">http://www.publicspeakingcanbefun.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">http://www.jackirose.com/</a>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-20621339745123419902008-06-19T09:12:00.003-04:002008-06-19T09:14:48.666-04:00Public Speaking and Your CompanyStop talking about your company! Your audience doesn't really care. All they care about is what can you do for them. They also want to know, when and where have you done this before and what were the results. But too many times I see companies start their<a href="http://www.publicspeakingcanbefun.com/"> presentations </a>talking about themselves. How it got started, what awards they have received, all about the founder, etc. This is just a waste of time and won't get the results you want.

But, it took them a very long time to actually get to <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_articles.asp">the question</a>. They felt like they needed to give you tons and tons of background information, gather their thoughts - out loud, etc. and all the time you are wondering: "Does this guy even have a question?" Or "When is she going to ask her question?"<br /><br />Do what President Candidate John McCain does.

It was huge! Thousands of people attended this <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/page.asp?PageID=6529">conference</a>. There were hundreds of <strong>presenters</strong>. But were they all great? Here's what my relative said:<br /><br />"Some of them were absolutely fabulous. They just told their story. Others <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">appeared</span> fake, phony, and insincere. Of course, these were the ones that was hard to pay attention to, buy-in to what they were saying, and liking the speaker. "<br /><br />The more sincere and <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_articles.asp">authentic</a> you can be when <strong>presenting</strong>, the more your audience will know you.

They will feel the same passion you are portraying.<br /><br />2 - Your audience will <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_articles.asp">stay engaged</a> when you <strong>present with passion</strong>. Newscasters do it all the time. That's why it's hard to change the channel even when you don't like what they are reporting.<br /><br />3 - Passion is what causes people to take action.<br /><br />The purpose of every speech is to get the <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">results you want.</a> To get the results you want, when it comes to <strong>public speaking,</strong> you need to <strong>present with passion</strong>!Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-14885407159169102572008-05-29T21:36:00.000-04:002008-06-14T13:14:31.142-04:00Public Speaking - PowerPoint PresentingHow many slides should you use in a <strong>presentation</strong>?<br />How much text should you put on a slide?<br />How much animation, pictures, and graphs should you use?<br /><br />Just remember this: <strong>YOU are your presentation,</strong> not your slides.<br />Your audience wants you to talk with them not at them or at your slides.<br /><a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_articles.asp">Less is more! </a>Pictures are worth a thousand words!

Is what Cher says every night before she goes on stage at her new Las Vegas theatre. Stage fright is normal. It's in our nature to be afraid of an audience. To be concerned that our audience may not like us. Guess what? They may not. But, most of them will and that's all you need to know. Forget about what the audience is going to think of you and focus on giving your <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_coaching.asp">audience what they need from you</a>. Doesn't Cher give her audience a great performance?

He had great credentials, great experience, and knowledge that was going to help me advance in my business. But... he paced back and forth. He went to one side of the room stopped and spoke to that side of the audience, then came back to the side I was on and spoke to us. He kept doing this at a pretty quick pace. It was so distracting I couldn't focus on his content!<br /><br />Then came the next <strong>presenter</strong>. This one spoke so loud that people out in the parking lot could hear him. This <strong>public speaker</strong> also came with great <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">credentials</span>, great experience, and knowledge that would help me with my business, but... I just couldn't focus on what he was saying because he was just giving me a headache.<br /><br />It was time for the third and final <strong>speaker</strong> of the evening.

Here you will find some of the <strong>greatest speeches ever given</strong>, and here's why?<br /><br />1 - Their audience identifies with what the speaker is saying and can learn from their experience. In other words, the subject applies to them.<br /><br />2 - The speaker is telling their own <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_articles.asp">personal story</a>. Not their friend's, not their spouse's, not their kid's, etc. Just their own.<br /><br />3 - The speaker is being sincere. They have no reason to try to be anything other than themselves. They are in a very supportive environment and feel safe to show their true personality. Showing your true personality engages your audience and gets your message across with more impact.<br /><br />FREE PUBLIC SPEAKING TIPS: <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">www.JackiRose.com</a>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-58167830261861433932008-04-08T15:31:00.000-04:002008-06-14T13:20:27.065-04:00Public Speaking and the MillennialsHow do you engage your audience of Generation Y – the Millennials?<br /><br /><strong>Throw away the PowerPoint, take out your personality, and interact with your audience!</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_articles.asp">Use stories, analogies, and examples </a>and have lots of fun with your presentation.

If not, the next time you present keep in mind that you are in control, not your audience.<br /><br />Have you ever been in front of an audience that was way too serious? Did you allow them to set the mood of the room and your presentation?<br /><br />What most presenters don't realize is that they have the power to energize their audience. You have the power to change the energy in the room, the mood of your audience, and the overall environment of your presentation.<br /><br />When you present, bring your energy to the platform and have some fun. When you are a bore, your audience will be bored. When you are having fun, your audience will have fun. When you are energetic, your audience will be energized.<br /><br />Jacki Rose, Public Speaking Coach, Trainer, Speaker - <a href="http://www.publicspeakingcoach.org/">www.publicspeakingcoach.org</a>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-24784194901702844362008-03-16T12:57:00.000-04:002008-03-16T13:00:23.613-04:00Presenters Steve Lawerence and Eydie GormeRemember Steve and Eydie? <a href="http://www.steveandeydie.com/">Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme</a> were a famous husband and wife singing team that entertained people for many years. They performed with Sammy Davis Junior, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, and many more. Well… believe it or not… they are still together, still singing and still going strong. I recently saw them perform live on stage and couldn’t get over how talented they both were. They put on a great show. As I watched them I noticed how comfortable they were. They adlibbed, had fun conversations with each other for the benefit of the audience, and were just being themselves. I loved how they were so comfortable on stage. Of course it’s because it’s what they are used to. They have been performing for many years.<br /><br />If you public speak more often you will also become more comfortable. When you are more comfortable you will put on a much better show. Think of your presentations as shows and you will engage your audience so they will stay <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/uploads/InsightsArticle10.07.pdf">awake, alert, and alive</a> and will be much more likely to do what you need them to do.<br /><br />More tips: <a href="http://www.publicspeakingskills.biz/">http://www.publicspeakingskills.biz/</a>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-64579521174640775202008-03-04T15:56:00.000-05:002008-03-04T15:58:05.585-05:00Presentation Skills - Pacing - Distracting - AnnoyingThere I was at another Association meeting with another presenter. A presenter who had lots of energy, great enthusiasm, and obviously very knowledgeable, but… it was so hard for me to focus on what he was presenting because all he did was pace back and forth and in such a way that was so distracting it just drove me crazy!<br /><br />If you tend pace when you present, remember that it can be very distracting to your audience members. You have great value to present so present it with total confidence and conviction, which means… do not pace.<br /><br />More free public speaking tips: <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">http://www.jackirose.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.publicspeakingskills.biz/">http://www.publicspeakingskills.biz/</a><br /><a href="http://www.publicspeakingcoach.org/">http://www.publicspeakingcoach.org/</a>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-19954181501990720632008-02-13T16:41:00.000-05:002008-02-13T16:43:40.174-05:00Public Speaking and Charlie RoseThere are three things that <a href="http://www.charlierose.com/home">Charlie Rose</a> told me to do. Well, he didn’t really tell me. I recently saw him speak live in Sarasota Florida. He spoke about his experience interviewing famous people and there were three things I took away that I will share with you now so that you can implement these ideas into your presentations and get greater results.<br /><br />1 – He spoke to the audience as if he was speaking to one guest. It was very conversational, even though he used notes. And using notes are perfectly fine, as long as you stay connected with your audience, as Charlie Rose did.<br /><br />2 – He said it took him 10 hours to prepare for his interview with President Bill Clinton. He said that he doesn’t just show up to an interview and hope that magic happens. He does research by using the internet, he has a team of people who help him gather information, and then he condenses it to what he needs to know. The take away here is, never wing your presentations. Prepare, prepare, prepare, and you will be much more likely to get the results you want.<br /><br />3 – This one is my favorite! Charlie Rose said that his best interviews and favorite shows that he did were the ones where his guests surprised him. My guess of what he meant by that is that his guests told him something he didn’t know or did something he wasn’t expecting. If you tell your audience something they don’t know or present in a way that is unexpected, your audience just may say that your presentation was one of the best they ever attended.<br /><br />For more free tips on public speaking skills:<br />www.Publicspeakingskills.biz<br /><a href="http://www.publicspeakingcoach.org/">www.publicspeakingcoach.org</a>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-63948877385965835492008-02-12T12:01:00.000-05:002008-02-12T12:03:04.394-05:00Did You Know This About Public Speaking and Your Audience?1 – Your audience wants you to succeed.<br />2 – Your audience does not expect or want you to be perfect.<br />3 – Your audience wants you to take command of the platform and present with total confidence.<br />4 – Your audience wants to hear what you have to say.<br />5 - Your audience will learn and benefit from your presentation.<br /><br />Present with total confidence, engage your audience, and prepare your presentation to include what you want and need your audience to know the most.

The title of my presentation was: "3 Ways To Stand Out Above Others"<br /><br />I shared with them a personal story about my very first training job before I became a <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/default.asp">public speaking skills coach.</a> I was hired for a 6 month project along with 10 other trainers. The trainees got more out of my training session than any of the others. The reason? I fully prepared my program and I rehearsed outloud my material. So when it was time to train, I knew my material inside and out. And because I knew it so well, it aloud me to do 3 things that helped me stand out above the rest. I was able to present with Power, Energy, and Passion.<br /><br />1 - Power<br />2 - Energy<br />3 - Passion<br /><br />The more power, energy, and passion you have when you deliver a presentation, the more effective you will be.<br /><br />More tips: <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">http://www.jackirose.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.publicspeakingcoach.org/">http://www.publicspeakingcoach.org/</a>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-44632958840513255562008-01-23T15:21:00.000-05:002008-01-23T15:25:00.615-05:00Public Speaking and PowerPoint<blockquote><p><span style="color:#000000;">Even if you think your PowerPoint presentation is great, there are always way to make it even more effective.
