I was reading the testimonial this weekend of a women who lost over 100 pounds and is now running marathons and getting certified to become a personal trainer. I frequently don't feel like exercising, but I get up out of my desk chair, put on those workout clothes and I go. One of her secrets to success was expressed in this sentence: "I don't believe in motivation; I believe in commitment." This was a new concept for me, but I totally get it.

Thank you to fellow speaker and trainer Bert Decker for today's food and public speaking analogy. If all you focus on is the external, that is, your movement, gestures, voice, clothing and slides, your presentation will be nothing but an empty shell. Download audio here. Last night on Twitter, Bert mentioned making Coq au Vin for the first time and forgetting to ask the butcher to cut up the whole chicken required for the recipe.

I'm going to start this post with the shocking lack of attention I see every day to professional image: clothes that don't fit; an e-mail full of typos; disheveled hair; a website that looks like it was built by a 5-year-old; a voice mail message spoken so fast, I can't understand the phone number; a week or more response time to a phone message. Do your clothes fit properly ? All with a shift in the color and shape of their clothing, makeup and hair.

Nicole Clancy , a personal trainer, created a game show-type poster with the top ten excuses people give for not exercising. It was a great way to get us thinking about where we could improve (cleaning out the closet more frequently, making sure we're not hanging onto clothes we never wear or that don't fit, for example), without judgment or putting individuals on the spot. At yesterday's referrals group meeting, everyone was on fire !

Before the flight took off she called her husband and explained her dilemma—that she would arrive in DC after hours with no business clothes to wear the next day and no place to shop. She was absolutely stunned to see these beautiful clothes ready to wear to her presentation the following morning.

(I I know a wonderful communication trainer, Michael Grinder , who has trained himself to keep his eyes open for more than 30 minutes at a time.) I was a theater major in college. I quickly learned that there is a stigma that accompanies this.

I got up and dressed early for a meeting, and now the meeting's been cancelled. What's ironic about this is that I try to avoid scheduling Monday morning meetings, for the obvious reason that it's Monday morning. I made an exception for this one, and now here I am, showered and dressed, with no place to go!

The trouble is that many trainers seem all too ready to accept and propagate a more rigid doctrine, in which things like folded arms are assigned a single, unambiguous and unvarying meaning in all situations. Nor, on the several occasions when I have asked lecturers or trainers who have presented it unquestioningly as ‘fact’, has any of them ever been able to cite the source, or to provide any further details about the original study.

Like your clothes, they provide context and framing for your message. I keep saying this , but here it is again: clothes are costumes, and costumes are powerful symbols. Whether you’re speaking to six of your colleagues or 600 strangers, your clothes matter. People are looking at you for a while–even if they don’t process your clothes consciously, they’ll do so in the background cycles of their brain.
