Public Speaking Distractions

One of the frustrating things about speaking is that sometimes the group on the
other side of an air wall is having more fun than you and your attendees. There's
nothing like making a serious point and hearing a huge roar of laughter coming
from the adjacent room. It makes a speaker feel awkward, How come they are
having so much fun and my folks aren't even laughing?
Well, I found the solution. I keep a set of three juggling balls concealed by
the side of my computer (I do lots of computer presentations). If the group next
door starts laughing loudly, I stop in the middle of my presentation and pause.
I then say to my audience, "I hate when other people are having more fun than
we are. I think we should get even." I then pick up my juggling balls and start
to do a variety of juggling tricks. I juggle for about 20-30 seconds. I stop and
everybody claps and cheers. Then, I turn to the offending folks across the air
wall and say "Take that!" and I go on with the seminar.

Tom Antion: Five tips on how to be funny while using A/V

Five tips on how to be funny while using A/V

Project a funny opening overhead or slide to help people get in fun as they
arrive for the presentation.

Use a funny pointer. I have several small pointers that I use for overhead
projection. One looks like a little hand pointing a finger, one is a bunny
rabbit, and one is a dinosaur. They never fail to get a laugh when I use them.
The trick is to put them on the overhead projector and go on with the
presentation as if nothing is happening (deadpan expression). The bunny and
dinosaur are simply erasers on children's pencils. The little hand was
purchased from a presentation supply company. If I feel like pointing to the
screen, I use a plastic "may the force be with you" sword. You could use a
golf club or baseball bat or whatever you want. Try to find some excuse to
tie the prop pointer into the theme of your presentation, i.e., (for a golf club)
If we use ABC method we are likely to score a hole in one.

Use the element of surprise. Don't tell the audience that a funny slide or
overhead is coming.

Briefly show self-effacing or funny life shots of you, or your family, your
kids, your dog, etc. Let them pop on the screen as if they accidentally got
mixed in with your business slides or overheads. With flip charts, turn the
page to accidentally on purpose show your children's scribbling or a grocery
note from your spouse, etc.

Fill up the frame with your funny object when using slides, overheads, or
video. The impact is much greater.

Tom Antion: FREE Teleclass with Super Interns

Learn to use cheap or no paycheck interns to skyrocket your public speaking business
and take a load off you.

Complimentary Teleclass Thursday, July 29th 9:00 PM Eastern
Can't make it? Register anyway and we'll send you the recording.

Julie Braun and Michelle Demers have worked with over a 1,000 interns in
their careers and have a simple system for building internship
programs in businesses of any size (especially small businesses).

If you are like the typical small business owner, who is burnt
to a crisp working 80+ hours a week, doing everything yourself,
then learn how having interns cannot only save you money but
make you money and give you valuable time to do what you love.

If you don’t have enough help to make more money, but you also
don’t have enough money to get more help, then this teleclass is
for you!

With interns, you’ll NEVER AGAIN say, “I don’t have the money,
time, energy, or people I need to grow my business.”

ANYONE can use interns to grow their business whether you are a
big company, non-profit, or a part-time, home-based solo-entrepreneur.

The good news is, if you don’t yet have interns, it’s NEVER TOO
LATE to start. You could have one or more interns in just a couple of
weeks! Help is on the way...


If you are a new small business, or one that is struggling, why
wouldn’t you give yourself every opportunity to succeed? Why
would you limit your success to only what YOU can do, when interns
are standing by waiting to help?

You can be doing better, growing faster, making more money, and
keeping more profits by creating a SUPER internship program in your
business.

Tom Antion: Know Your Audience

You can't catch many fish by using food you like for the bait. You must give
them what they like. You must absolutely, positively know your audience.

You should know what the members of the audience have in common
(interests, enemies, competitors, etc.). You should know what the hot topic of
conversation is, but be sure they are joking about it themselves. It may be too
hot. You should know the restaurants where they eat, the name of their
newsletter, how much money they make, the name and record of the local
sports teams, etc., etc., etc. The more you know about the audience, the better
job you will do. Your goal should be to make that audience know that the
presentation they are witnessing was created specifically for them.

If you don't present to the same audience all the time, you must have a
method for getting this information. Most NO ZZZZZs presenters use some
form of pre-program questionnaire which is sent out well in advance of their
program. I got the basis for mine from Dottie Walters at Walters International
Speakers Bureau. I made some slight changes to suit my presentation style and
I keep adding and deleting questions to tweak it to perfection.

Your conversations with the program coordinator will give you some of the
information you need. You should fill in as many of the blanks as you can
before you send out the questionnaire to save the program coordinator some
work. This also proves you were paying attention to what he or she said.
