When you do a long presentation with lots of topics, you can help your audience understand and remember more by explicitly displaying the presentation’s organization. A visual list of topics helps them relate each topic to the wholeness of the presentation. You can see that I made the Home tab smaller than the others; I did this because I needed more space for the topic names — and wanted to emphasize them as well.

Two speakers, same topic. Two presentations: same topic, but different outcome. Here's a visual example of the same topic presented in a bare-bones unemotional fashion vs. an engaging, interesting, artistic fashion: skateboard deterrents. If you have to give a presentation anyway, no matter how utilitarian the topic, why not make it a good time and an enriching experience for everyone, including yourself?

Smart communicators know to be topical in creating opinion-editorials for third-party media, posts for blogs, speeches, podcasts, and snippets for social networks.    Yet, they simply don't consider the engagement power of the topical in email blasts.   In coaching clients I motivate them to at least experiment with the topical strategy for their next email campaign.

I came across the topic on two other public speaking blogs, so I decided to post a link to my own two cents. Based on my presentation last month to UCSB's Rape Prevention Education Program 's peer educators, I wrote an article for my January newsletter about presenting difficult topics, which often results in difficult audiences, or at least difficult audience members. This seems to be the month to talk about difficult audiences.

Members of the media knew they had a story with legs during The Great Recession. It had been the new college graduates who were labeled "Generation Jobless." " They came of professional age at the worst of global economic times. Many, saddled with student loan debt, grabbed whatever work they could get. And they returned home to live with their parents.    The story still has legs. In The Wall Street Journal Chip Cutter and Lauren Weber re-visit Generation Jobless.

The radio producer had found this blog and wanted to use it as a muse for a program on women and public speaking. Great news! Could I suggest some famous speeches by women to feature on the program? Why, I have nearly 250 of them in The Eloquent Woman Index of Famous Speeches by Women. All good, right?

At a 12-step recovery meeting, a newcomer apologized for simply being an alcoholic. "I am a dino, I know," he said. Most of the others in the room were there primarily for opioids and crack. Alcohol had been a side dish. Drugs steal the show because they can be fatal - instantly. That grabs headlines and commentary by politicos. Alcoholism, in contrast, frequently results in a gradual decline, then death from other causes such as liver failure, accidents, or suicide.

Before you write each blog post, you should clearly decide on your topic, which segment of your target market the post will appeal to and what problem or opportunity you will address. And your post should stay focused on the topic, segment and issue. That might mean some prospects will not be interested in particular posts; however, if you try to be everything to everybody in each post, you will end up being nothing to nobody.

The routine was introduced after the part where I spoke about writing topical comedy for radio.

Whether you're campaigning or just trying to get through a meeting, tough topics add extra layers to your task. But when your topic or subject creates the difficulty, you're facing the great equalizer , the challenge that might thwart both the confident and the shy speaker. And the definition of "tough topic" rests with you, the speaker. It may be tough for you as a speaker , if you face a contentious topic or audience that might explode, or if you're especially nervous.

Or, more precisely, you're seeking quotes from women that suit your topic, but they just seem to be unavailable? I'm going to take this challenge in two directions, offering some women-specific quotation sources as well as some sources focused on the non-trivial topics requested: design, creative process, failure and collaboration. Do you ever get discouraged when you're seeking quotes for a presentation or speech, and all the available gems are from men?

I know I just told you about Lanyrd, the "social conference directory" that lets you explore conferences, speakers, topics and more--and better yet, add past and present speeches and presentations (your own or those of others), making it a good roster of experience for speakers. As a result, when speakers tag their topics within sessions, the tags become a "word cloud" on your profile under the heading "Speaks about," as shown in the sample profile at left.

Typically, a talent acquisition team will suggest some broad interview presentation topics for you. No matter which topic you were given remember this: your audience will be assessing your aptitude for the role. Businesses across different industries pretty much struggle with the same generic challenges related to either of the following: Your topic should clearly address one of these areas and offer a potential roadmap for solving some specific problem within it.

To carefully research a topic takes a natural curiosity and interest for the topic itself. Using a variety of resources enables you to see the topic from different viewpoints. My next speech, about the topic of summer wines, means I need to seek out a number of sources to have a working knowledge of what how these wines differ from others and what will make them interesting to my audience. What does thorough speech preparation mean?
