It's no surprise that we're seeing cases studies coming out of the recent SXSW interactive conference of what to do--and what not to do--when trying to mesh old-school speaking standards with the new Twitter backchannel.

Timing in public speaking is one of the most important aspects of humor and NO ZZZZZs speaking. Jack Benny said, 'When you are speaking, timing is not so much knowing when to speak, but knowing when to pause.' Jack didn't speak a word for an extended period of time. Not only is timing involved in an individual piece of humor, it is also involved in the placement of that piece of humor in the overall presentation. Timing is also involved in spontaneous reactions to 'expected' unexpected developments during the presentation.

All of those articles include helpful tips for dealing with anxiety, but here's the most valuable of all: Avoiding the thing that triggers your anxiety is the best way to keep it hanging over your head and controlling you. I have a client who has avoided public speaking for more than 20 years. He is literally starting from scratch, having to learn I've written before about my own experiences with panic attacks , about thought traps that mistake emotions for reality , dealing with setbacks , and letting go of the negative .

And if he could only talk and write on a flip chart, I’m sure he’d be a great public speaker. Like Balou, great public speakers understand that you can overcome mistakes with connection. If Balou were a public speaker, his best trait would be his passion. My dog Balou is a 60-pound, black-lab mix that we adopted at a PetSmart rescue day last year in Sandy Springs.
