The hoopla is over, the streamers and confetti have been swept up and the delegates have returned home. Yes, the Republican and Democratic National Conventions in the United States have concluded, but not before treating us to a Smörgåsbord of speeches. The speeches were full of stories of personal triumph over adversity, rhetorical barbs directed at opponents, the occasional bending of the truth, and an overall trust-us-not-them flavour.

Recently, President Obama admitted that his job as President is about more than just getting the policy right. As he put it, “The nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times.” ” Well said, Mr. President! For years I’ve been telling business presenters that stories are essential to getting your message across.

What are the essential apps for iPad presenters? I compiled a list a year ago; it’s time for an update. And if you’re holiday shopping for that speaker in your life, and you want to give an iPad, this list will help you load up the gadget with the necessary speaker starter kit. I love the iPad for presenting. I use it to create my notes, and then put them up on the comfort monitors in front of me but hidden from the audience.

To many trend watchers, 2012 was a very bad year. We don't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate the world didn't end on December 21th of this year. There was Sandy, which the Northeast Corridor hasn't recovered from yet. Its true commercial toll will be obvious this summer as resorts in shore areas from Westerly, Rhode Island to Atlantic City gear up for the tourist season. Then there was the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Public Speaking Advice and Commentary

OCTOBER 4, 2012

I’m taking a short break from my discussion of virtual communications to talk about the debates.    The received wisdom is that President Obama lost the debate and former Governor Romney won; 2/3rds of Americans polled thought so, and the commentators certainly did.    So what follows is a contrarian view.
