Speaking
November 2007
Dear Diane,
Diane DiResta works with organizations that want to
communicate with greater impact and with individuals
who want to communicate more clearly.
Did You Know ...
... the biggest faux pas a politician made this year?
Read my interview on presentations.com

... most speakers make the same 10 mistakes?
You can still learn how to avoid all 10 mistakes. See my presentation at the
Small Business XPO at the Javits Center in NYC on 11/28.

... I spoke at the Financial Women's Association on 11/12.
Motivational Moment
"It's a law of nature. You get what youfocus on most of the time. The
challenge for most people is that they spend the majority of their lives
focusing on the things they don't want, and then end up getting more and
more of the things they never wanted in the first place!"

The Science of Speaking
911 for Speaking Bloopers
If you've ever seen the outtakes of a movie or TV show, it can be quite
funny. The actors make mistakes and then they laugh about it.
But what about public speaking bloopers? Suddenly it doesn't seem so funny.
I watched a man give a presentation with his fly open. Another presenter
had the slides in the wrong order. President Bush frequently mispronounces
words. And I once knocked over a cup of coffee while giving a seminar!
We're going to make mistakes. That's a given. But how you handle the
mistake is what counts. What's your recovery strategy?
I ask my audiences to think of their worst fear. One person was afraid she'd
trip over a wire on the stage. So, imagine it actually happening. What could
you do to recover?
How about saying... "I want you to know I've been practicing that entrance
for weeks."
Or you could say... "Never let it be said that I don't know how to make an
entrance."
Or... "Now that I have your attention..."
One motivational speaker had to contend with a fire in the middle of his
speech. He led his audience to the parking lot, stood on a car, and
continued his speech.
If companies and cities can have disaster recovery strategies, so can you.
Develop a list of one-liners that you can put in your toolbox and you'll be
prepared for any situation.
To see how I recovered from my recent blooper, watch the video clip on

Media Tips
Context is everything. When speaking live before a crowd, your performance
will have a different effect than when you're seen on a TV clip.
Howard Dean

When Howard Dean was criticized for his loud "Yahoo" while campaigning, the
crowd was cheering with him. Because there was only one microphone, we could
only hear him and not the crowd. This changed the context causing him to
sound "out of control" or "over the top."
When producer James Cameron accepted the award for the movie Titanic, he
raised his Oscar and yelled, "I'm king of the world!" He sounded arrogant to
those who didn't know he was quoting one of the characters in the movie.
The next time you see a camera, consider the context and play to the lens.
Sincerely,
Diane DiResta
