Speaking linkfest
Here is this week’s roundup of good links on public speaking:
- 20 tips for public speaking. More specific that most tip lists, he offers advice on pace, knowing your audience, slides and more.
- More on Why Panels Suck. A good response to my post on the evil of panels.
- The problem with presentations. Doc Searls explains that you should start with the end.
- Five ways to talk to Money. Fast Company on how to get straight to the core of your message.
- Speech Mistakes. Fascinating academic paper on how we’re always making mistakes in speech, why it happens, and why usually most people don’t notice.
- Why you should almost never use laser pointers. I swear the only people who use them insist on using them every 10 seconds and make me want to go up there and take it away from them.
- Before you open your mouth (PDF). Great stuff on why most public speaking is so bad.
