Public Speaking : Listen to Everyone

Whether it’s Bozo the Clown, President Bush, or some guy off the corner, listen to all of the presenters at a public speaking event. Unless there is a time conflict, you should be able to get around to see each person. Not only will this tie the whole event together, it also will give you the opportunity to make sure your presentation does not repeat that of another. How embarrassing to get on stage only to say the same thing as the guy before! Don’t commit this public speaking faux paux! And who knows, Bozo may be able to give you a helpful tip on balloon animals! (Just another crazy element to add to your event!)
