As we settle into the weekend, the Drudge Report has veered away from headlining with Hillary. Instead, monster hurricane Matthew is the flashing blue light special, only without the flashing blue light. That has been absent for years. But not in the Drudge Report's early fans' memory. Acts of nature trump the activities of politicos in clickbaitville. The shrewd media tycoons operating the Drudge Report know that.

But, unfortunately for the master showman, Trump, the people's drama is upstaging his own theatrics. The conservative Drudge Report finally has headlined with the side shows going on at musical "Hamilton." " That began last night. But, Drudge Report might have waited to post on all this until the pro-Trump folks joined in on the antics. They did a flash mob at "Hamilton." " Here is the link to that coverage.

Remember when Barack Obama upstaged the RNC by doing Reddit during it?    Now he's taken over the momentum of the debates with organizing debate-watching parties.    As POLITICO reports, his campaign has organized 3200 of them across the nation. In email I got an invitation to watch the debate at a party right here in New Haven, Connecticut. This was so well organized that the invite even had my name "Jane" personally on it.

Again, Barack Obama upstaged whatever the GOP was up to with social media. His participation in Reddit's Ask Me Anything was sheer genius.    We were bug-eyed paying attention to the questions asked, the ones he selected to answer, and how he answered them. Meanwhile the fat guy, the stiff money man, and the lovebirdy wife seemed like yesterday's people in Tampa. Obama's survival instinct might be that he's open to fresh approaches.

” The showmanship upstaged the story. For a public speaking exercise, I ask students to tell a 2-3 minute story in front of the class. I also hand out a stack of simple evaluation sheets to the class — students anonymously rate the speaker’s storytelling skills, vocal skills, body language, and story value from 1-5. I also leave a brief space for written comments. In one class session, a particular student was a clear standout.

Used unwisely, PowerPoint becomes a distraction that upstages the presenter and buries the message. Used wisely, PowerPoint® and similar programs can be an effective tool to help audiences remember your message, while allowing you to prove, reinforce, and support your claims. With its tumbling, whooshing, flying, singing and screeching graphics, PowerPoint can take on a life of its own.

The story of media could even upstage the saga of the coming global economic slowdown. More powerful than governments, business enterprises, and nutty leaders is the media. So, it's predictable that its own activities will be the big story of 2019. After all, it's heading into so much change. In The Wrap , Sharon Waxman reports how digital natives haven't yet found a sustainable model and a way to scale revenues.    That's been obvious, of course.

don't upstage contestants or awardees; note, American Idol hosts--calling attention to yourself and upstaging contestants reflects poorly on you. Last Saturday I had a real dose of Stage Time. I presided over a Tall Tales speech contest, in front of more than 100 in the audience. On a stage. As the emcee, it was my job not only to follow contest protocol, but also to conduct contestant interviews. The experience was exhilarating and I learned much.

For example, some can upstage the boss. Back in 2015, GE eliminated the traditional annual performance review. But, come on, there will always exist some human resources tool for officially evaluating job performance. There has to be. The U.S. is a country embedded in legalities. The reasons for promotions, pay raises and procedures prior to termination have to be documented. However, most of those tools, whatever form they take, aren't really useful.

That pandemic has upstaged politics per se. World on Edge. Panic after Travel Ban. Escape from Europe. Norway Shut Country. Fauci: System "Failing" Fed Pumps Another $1 Trillion. The Drudge Report has a golden gut for the news that brings traffic. So, it is predictable that it would post 6 headlines on the coronavirus. But, of course, it's become a matter of politics. The way Donald Trump is handling (or mishandling) this global crisis is a major factor driving down the Dow.

Question: Is Thiel concerned about not upstaging Trump? The lone wolf supporter of Donald Trump in Silicon Valley, Peter Thiel has gotten his reward. He will be speaking the 4th night of the RNC. That's the same night in which Trump will also be addressing the world. Here are the details in Recode. Because Thiel is such an iconoclastic thinker and author, his speech will get lots of play in the media. Twitter is live-streaming the entire RNC.

Public Speaking Advice and Commentary

OCTOBER 21, 2009

Those in the room who wanted to express their subservience to the CEO unconsciously sank lower and lower in order not to upstage the boss. The story of power in a room is written in space and height.   It’s not very different from what pack dogs do, in fact. Look for the alpha dog. He or she will be the highest person in the room if at all possible. It’s why kings and queens have had thrones on daises since they began ruling others.

And The Man will destroy anyone who upstages him. From the get-go, ghostwriters like myself know to maintain a low profile. Sure, some of our clients allow us to be recognized for assisting with their book. But, even then, we steer away from interviews with media. When dragged into media attention, we titter and say how small our role had been. We heap praise on The Man.
