They are: “ah” and “um” If you use these words, many negative things happen. 1 – It’s distracting to your audience, 2 – You appear less confident of your topic, 3 – Your audience cannot keep up with you because most likely you are not pausing and you are talking non-stop. The most common <a href="http://www.publicspeakingskills.biz/">public speaking</a> words -“ah” and “um” are used as filler words. Next time you feel and “ah” or “um” coming on, just say nothing and pause<br /><br />Free PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS tips: <a href="http://www.publicspeakingskillscoach.com/">http://www.publicspeakingskillscoach.com/</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-5376987581587358943?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-13188378348791605172009-06-29T16:55:00.001-04:002009-06-29T16:57:04.892-04:00Your Audience Likes You More Than You RealizeHalle Barry was nominated for an Oscar and was at Oprah Winfrey’s house the night before the Oscar Awards took place. Oprah asked Halle the following question: “Did you write a <strong>speech</strong>?” Halle said “no”. Oprah replied: “<strong>write a speech</strong>” Halle responded: “No. I’m not going to win.” Well she did win and guess what she said after the fact “I wish I had written a speech because I ended up going on and on. I wish I could have been better and remembered to thank the people I really wanted to thank.” <br /><br />Once you’re on stage, you forget. <strong><a href="http://pubclispeakingskills.biz/">Public Speaking</a></strong> can cause excitement and anxiety which makes it difficult to collect your thoughts on the spot. If you prepare your speech ahead of time, you will be able to <strong>present </strong>all the material you want and need to for your audience and you won’t be regretting it later.<br /><br />Free PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS tips: <a href="http://www.publicspeakingskillscoach.com/">www.publicspeakingskillscoach.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-1318837834879160517?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-48119787442050231262009-06-19T17:29:00.000-04:002009-06-19T17:30:18.888-04:00Feel Empowered When You PresentWhen Halley Barry was on the Oprah show talking about her experience in the movie Cat Woman she confessed it was during the time she was splitting up with her husband. She said the role fit exactly what she needed to do in her personal life. Thus she felt empowered and in control of her real life. When you act the way you want to be, you become that way. If you want to appear confident and dynamic when you give your next presentation, then act that way. It doesn’t matter if you feel it or not. No one has to know.

Or an exclamation point, or a comma, or even quotes. I’m not talking about writing. I’m talking about <a href="http://www.publicspeakingskills.biz/">speaking!</a> Too many times I see people talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, without putting periods after their sentences. Which means they do not stop, pause, or take a breath. Let your audience know when you are done with a sentence by pausing for a moment. Give your audience a chance to absorb what you have said. Slow down, pause, and punctuate!<br /><br />Free PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS tips: <a href="http://www.publicspeakingskillscoach.com/">www.publicspeakingskillscoach.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-1056296668968311321?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-69603548753221798342009-06-16T09:30:00.001-04:002009-06-16T09:31:58.783-04:00Speak Through Your FearWhen I entered the world of professional speaking I had no interest in speaking internationally. It sounded to complicated, too scary, and I just didn’t think it was for me. In fact, whenever I read my speaker’s magazine and listened to the audio CD of all the tools of growing your speaking business, I always skipped over the part about speaking Internationally. It did not apply to me. I was never going to be an International Speaker – never, ever. But, one day I received an email from a seminar company in Asia. They invited to conduct a training program in Singapore and Malaysia. I was suddenly interested. Maybe because they were interested in me. For the first time, I could see myself speaking Internationally. Was it because I had an opportunity to do it and I didn’t have to go looking for it. Was it because someone had faith in me. Or was it because, I’m the type of person who likes to experience new things. Possibly, all three. My point here is, when you have an opportunity to <a href="http://publicspeakingskills.us/">give a presentation</a> to an audience or on a topic that you could never imagine yourself doing, why not take a chance and go for it.<br /><br />My trip to Asia was amazing! I had a great time from beginning to end and it was an experience I will cherish forever. I may even go back! I no longer have a fear of speaking Internationally. If you have a fear of public speaking, then speak. Speak, speak, speak and then speak some more. The more you do anything the less fearful you will be. Be open and receive what comes your way. It just may be coming your way for a very good reason.<br /><br />Free PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS tips: <a href="http://www.publicspeakingskillscoach.com/">www.publicspeakingskillscoach.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-6960354875322179834?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-88514915708529468672009-06-15T09:30:00.001-04:002009-06-15T09:32:23.748-04:00You Need to Get a LifeWhen I returned from my bike trip I joined Toastmasters (public speaking skills). I went to my first conference and saw that a small number of people were receiving a very prestigious award called the DTM – Distinguished Toastmaster Award. As the awards were given out, it was explained to the rest of us what it takes to achieve a DTM. They kept listing accomplishments after accomplishments of speeches, officer roles, and <a href="http://www.publicspeakingskills.biz/">public speaking projects</a> that you need to achieve. It sounded to me that to accomplish this you will not have any time for anything else. I leaned over to my friend and whispered, “These people need to get a life.” About 5 years later, I achieved my DTM. And yes, I do have a life. I just couldn’t imagine being able to do all of those things, but as I got more into Toastmasters I found myself taking on challenges one at a time. Before I knew it, I was achieving my DTM. It wasn’t even anything I was striving for. If you take one challenge at a time it will lead you to great accomplishments with your presentations. Take one speech at a time, do it the <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_products.asp">very best you can</a>, and the next one will be even better. The key is to take on every speaking opportunity you can, but do it one speech at a time and before you know it, you will accomplish something you never imagined.<br /><br />Free PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS tips: <a href="http://www.publicspeakingskillscoach.com/">www.publicspeakingskillscoach.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-8851491570852946867?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-81406719057777331932009-06-14T13:17:00.002-04:002009-06-14T13:19:39.083-04:00You Won’t Believe ThisI had the privilege to sit in an all day seminar put on by Brian Tracy, America’s leading authorities on the development of human potential and personal effectiveness. He has spoken to over 400,000 people all over the world (53 countries). He is the author of many best-selling audio programs and has produced over 300 in over 25 years. My point is, he’s pretty amazing. And guess what, he does not use? <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/uploads/ArticlePowerPointWeb.pdf">PowerPoint! </a>I was very surprised to see what he does use. You won’t believe this and if you are young enough you won’t even know what I’m talking about, but he uses …. Are you ready.. he uses… an... overhead projector!!! That’s right, in front of hundreds and thousands of people. It gets better, not only does he use it, but he writes on it as he goes rather than using professional printed overheads. And… his writing is almost as bad as mine. Why do I tell you this?

They don’t have to worry about their body language, their vocal variety, or even their eye contact. But you do!

I had never seen a TV at the gas pump before and I was shocked that I just found myself enthralled in the watching without realizing the fact there was something I had not seen before. In the middle I said to myself, “wow, I’m watching TV at a gas station.”<br /><br />We are so used to watching TV it has become an automatic habit. When we <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">speak in public</a> we all have automatic habits we are not aware. Start paying attention to what you do during your <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_products.asp">presentation</a> and if you discover a habit that could be distracting to your audience, stop doing it.<br /><br />Free public speaking skills tips: <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">www.jackirose.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-1014516061988754199?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-37492509784410925612009-06-11T07:50:00.001-04:002009-06-11T07:52:10.273-04:00Ya Never KnowHave you ever said you could never do something, but then one day found yourself doing that exact thing? In 1997 I was on a bike trip from California to New Hampshire. That’s 3700 miles across the United States. I remember the first day when I was checking in, the tour director asked me if I had clipless pedals? I said, “yeah right, like I’m going to have clipless pedals. I will never have clipless pedals.” Two weeks into the trip, I had clipless pedals and have been riding with clipless pedals ever since. Clipless pedals are the kind of pedals on a bicycle that your shoes snap into so you are attached to the pedals. It always scared me too much and I could not see myself with them. Never say: never. Many of my clients say that they could not see themselves presenting in a more dynamic and engaging way, but as soon as they started speaking and learning <a href="http://jackirose.com/">what makes a great presenter</a>, they surprised themselves and became even better than they ever thought possible. Never say: never. Instead say: Probably some day.<br /><br />Free public speaking skills tips: <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">www.jackirose.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-3749250978441092561?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-84346829714471177992009-06-09T09:53:00.003-04:002009-06-09T10:11:24.286-04:00PAUSE before your speakIf you have ever seen <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">me present</a> on <strong>public speaking</strong> and <strong>presentation skills</strong> or if you have read any of my <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_articles.asp">articles on public speaking</a>, you have heard me say “PAUSE before your speak.” Pause is an acronym for 5 things to do before you ever open your mouth to start your speech:<br />P – position yourself center stage<br />A – Appear Confident by standing tall<br />U- unwind, relax, and breath<br />S – Smile at your audience<br />E – Make eye contact with your audience<br /><br />PAUSE before you speak and you will connect with your audience more effectively.<br /><br />Free public speaking skills tips: <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">http://www.jackirose.com/</a><br /><br />Follow me on Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/presentwithpep">http://twitter.com/presentwithpep</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-8434682971447117799?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-79918932401148629842009-06-08T15:50:00.003-04:002009-06-09T10:11:55.798-04:00Aconyms for Public Speaking and PresentingGSTV (Gas Station TV) – Make up an acronym to add spice to your presentations. After a few seconds of pumping gas at a rest stop, I realized I was watching TV….. at a Gas Station! The key here is that I didn’t realize I was doing something I had never done before, until after several seconds, maybe even minutes of doing it. I am so used to seeing TV in public places and watching TV, that it didn’t even occur to me this was the first time I had ever seen or heard of a TV at the gas pump. I call it, GSTV (Gas Station TV). When you <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">speak in public </a>you may not be aware of some of the things you are doing that could be distracting to your audience, but when you are aware of improving your <strong>public speaking skills</strong> you then become aware of some fascinating new ideas.

We were talking about how PowerPoint does not keep your audience engaged and then she said something that I thought was worth blogging about: "I remember back in school during a presentation, when it was time for the slides, it was time to go to sleep." That's because, they would turn off all the lights.<br /><br />Use PowerPoint only if you really have to and when you do, keep the lights on so your audience will stay <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_media.asp">awake, alert, and alive</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">www.jackirose.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_articles.asp">free public speaking skills tips: </a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-9166432047138420213?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-63057888713137265792009-04-21T11:55:00.003-04:002009-04-21T11:57:59.915-04:00Susan Boyle Proves a Great PointSusan Boyle is a perfect example of why it is so important to bring your true personality to your presentation.

They get just as nervous as my clients with full blown presentations. Mainly because they are not sure what to do. Here's what I tell them:<br /><br />1 - Have a great opening to get the audience interested in what they are about to hear and who they are about to here from. This is the same you would do in a full-blown presentation. A strong opening is extremely important.<br /><br />2 - Get typed up introductions from your panel presenters. Ask them to send you an introduction on how they would like to be introduced. Tell them what to include. You could also interview them for the introduction. Be sure to add a personal note about each one - for example, what they like to do in their free time. This helps to connect with the audience.<br /><br />3 - Just like a full-blown presentation, you need to have a dynamic closing. Sum up the key points that the panelists mentioned and emphasize the benefits to the audience of the entire presentation. Send them away feeling motivated, inspired, and ready to take action.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">Free Public Speaking Skills Tips</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-3308546639171006510?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-84294276501543258292009-03-30T11:26:00.005-04:002009-03-30T11:29:27.910-04:00Emotional Public SpeakingThere was a question on one of the professional speaking groups on linkedin on emotional speaking. The person wanted to know if it was okay to get emotional when she spoke.<br /><br />Here was my response:<br /><br />Emotion is the way to impact your audience. Most people today do not show enough emotion which leaves the audience not knowing how to interpret or feel about the presentation. Your audience will only feel what feelings and emotion you portray. If you want them to have an emotional reaction, then show that emotion.<br /><br />Now... with that said. You don't want to make your audience too uncomfortable by losing it. You need to be ready to give a speech that is very emotional for you. Shortly after my father passed away I gave a speech about him. I am a professional speaker and thought I could control the tears, but I could not. Afterwards people told me I was not ready to give that speech. So if it's watery eyes, if it's emotion through your voice, but you are not losing it totally where you end up crying while you are speaking, then go for the emotion.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">More free public speaking skills tips</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-8429427650154325829?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-44211099448905883892009-03-26T20:11:00.000-04:002009-03-26T20:12:40.603-04:00Spice up Your PresentationSpice up your presentation with these 5 ways to gain respect from your audience.<br /><br /><strong>S</strong> tand tall<br /><strong>P</strong> ronunciate<br /><strong>I</strong> dentify<br /><strong>C</strong> onnect<br /><strong>E</strong> ngage<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">Free public speaking skills tips...</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-4421109944890588389?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-53127582300685688292009-03-25T20:03:00.001-04:002009-03-25T20:05:15.117-04:00The Economy and Public SpeakingNow more than ever you need to have excellent presentation skills.

Why do you think so many people present with PowerPoint?<br /><br />Do you present boring presentations because you see others present boring <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">presentations</span>, therefore you think it's okay? Well, it is not okay. The more boring your presentation the less effective your presentation will be. Boring presentations produce boring results. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Average</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">presentations</span> produce average results. And, great presentations produce great results. Stand out <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">above</span> the rest - be yourself, be engaging, and present with total confidence.<br /><br />More free public speaking skills tips: <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">http://www.jackirose.com/</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-633828556444291117?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35977737.post-54530094516203894952009-03-19T20:27:00.003-04:002009-03-19T20:32:23.488-04:00Create a Great PresentationMost people who create a presentation give way too much information and not even the right information to get their desired results.<br /><br />Here are three things from my workbook <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/buy.asp?PageID=5385">"Fear to Fabulous"</a> on how to start creating a great presentation.<br /><br />1 - What: What do you want your audience to know or do?<br />2 - Why: Why is this information or call to action beneficial to your <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">audience</span>?<br />3 - When: When has it been done before - give a real life example.<br /><br />These three things will make all the difference in the world when presenting.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jackirose.com/public_speaking_skills_products.asp">More free public speaking skills tips:</a> <a href="http://www.jackirose.com/">http://www.jackirose.com/</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35977737-5453009451620389495?l=publicspeakingcanbefun.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacki Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01482968888689527396noreply@blogger.com
