Guy Kawasaki is awesome and I really dig what he has to say. Take for instance one of his most recent posts, “How to get a standing ovation.”
- Have something interesting to say.
- Cut the sales pitch.
- Focus on entertaining. Understand the audience.
- Overdress.
- Don’t denigrate the competition.
- Tell stories.
- Pre-circulate with the audience.
- Speak at the start of an event.
- Ask for a small room.
- Practice and speak all the time.
