Public Speaking Dojo

9 Nov

Here’s a little Sumo Dojo we did about Public Speaking.  Some do’s, don’t, tips, tricks:

 

SPEAKING of public speaking…..I spoke on Thursday about validating business ideas, and I wanted to warm up the crowd a bit.  I decided to make everyone sing “We Will Rock You”, and wasn’t sure if a whole crowd could keep up the beat AND sing at the same time.  See for yourself how it turned out :-)

That was fun!

Be Sociable, Share!

      You pulled that off man. Any time you get the audience involved they will never forget you. Rock on my man!

        Thanks Rav! People really seemed to like it….definitely a departure from a typical speech intro

      Nice work! Are you going to be making the rest of the speech available too?

        My friend David keeps the rights to the speeches at his party…..so I DID record it myself, but won’t post it.

      Hey Nev,

      I admire your confidence, you seem to be living the life. I noticed the sign behind you said “Internet Marketing Party,” and wanted to get your opinion on a project of mine…

      My “test” site is at gointercom.com. I’ve tried marketing my product idea to Adwords traffic and have received a massive bounce rate no matter how targetted the traffic is (deaf people, people searching for wireless doorbells, doorbells in general). Do you think I should ditch this project or does it have potential? People in real life seem to like it, but online traffic hasn’t been as friendly.

        I’m not Nev, but I wanted to say that you should have a video showing how thing thing works. That wall of text is going to lose a lot of people.

      I agree Anon, a video needs to be made. But I’ll only do that if Im seeing people spend some time on the site (more than 0 seconds). In real life, people are saying that they really like the product. Maybe I haven’t found the best way to test this.

      YES! Love this, been a Toastmasters member for 1.5 years now but sometimes that type of group can get a little slow-moving. Video just inspired me to go on a speech-giving rampage and then actually speak to an audience that isn’t the Toastmaster group :)
