Have you ever found yourself sitting in the center seat of a packed auditorium—hemmed in on both sides by people and laptops—listening to a keynote speaker who is supposed to be imparting knowledge and wisdom, but instead is droning on and on? Not practicing your delivery ahead of time: Most people know better than to wing it in front of a large, high-stakes crowd, but there are plenty out there who think they have enough experience to stand up and speak with very little rehearsal.

UCS professor Henry Jenkins coined the term transmedia storytelling, and defines it as representing: “…a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience…” There’s many examples of transmedia, with projects around novels, TV shows, videogames, music and movies as well as a few examples in the corporate and executive communications space.

After things were quickly under control, I immediately called a meeting in the school's auditorium to introduce myself as the school's new principal. When, all of a sudden, a girl way in the back of the auditorium, she stood up and she said, "Miss! She uses a strong, forceful delivery throughout, and balances that with genuine feeling and insight.

And, along with this tight schedule, there was a policy of not letting attendees return to their seats if they came back into the auditorium after the speaker had begun. This did happen once, and I missed the first few minutes of an excellent speaker who I was unable to write about because I was standing at the back of the auditorium holding my laptop. Their content was strong, but their delivery made it very hard to concentrate on the message.

Here's a (not-great) photo I took of one of his creations (hint: they're tables and benches in the quad outside the Broad Auditorium). The auditorium was just the right size. I had the privilege of attending TEDxUCLA this past weekend.

Now, get over it--by making sure you edit overstatements out of your speech or presentation, or stop yourself mid-delivery, if need be. If the conference is especially exciting, the speakers notable and widely recognized and even the auditorium seats are the most comfortable you can imagine, I'll be looking for unicorns in the lobby of your next meeting. Are all your programs major? All your research extensive? All your senior officials probing and sought-after?

Public Speaking Advice and Commentary

AUGUST 26, 2010

There is the disjunction between the trappings of traditional public speaking—the podium, the large auditorium, the stage, the lighting—and a style of discourse that is now more conversational than declamatory.       Indeed, given the skewed evolution of public speaking content and delivery against the backdrop of the enforced intimacy of modern media, the wonder is that speeches are ever interesting at all.

In an auditorium? Listen to an audio delivery: Particularly if you start with a written text and want to memorize it, it''s helpful to record audio of yourself reading the text in a lively way. Usually, I do at least one in-person coaching session so I can better see movement, expression and other delivery issues, then we follow up on Skype or phone and email, sending practice videos back and forth for review and critique.

Ask people how they like listening to the modern slide-driven style of delivery, and you’ll soon discover a deep groundswell of dissatisfaction. So the original natural habitat of the OHP was the large auditorium, where speakers used them in much the same way as they’d used blackboards, writing on a roll of acetate and winding it forward whenever they ran out of space.

He started his original Norwalk dairy store to salvage a third-generation family dairy business that was dying as delivery customers dropped service for the convenience of grocery purchases. The workshops grew and soon he was speaking to an auditorium of local business owners on a regular basis. As a personal note from Patricia Fripp. I know and really like Stew. He is a great speaker and I am glad he wrote his story.
