Public Speaking : The WOW! Factor

Want to get them dropping your name over the public speaking water cooler? Be original and include something unexpected in your presentations. A coworker of mine went to the Eminem concert and noted that he had a Ferris wheel on stage and started out his show in one of the cars. Maybe you don’t have a Ferris wheel on hand, which I find odd, but there are many other things you can do to separate yourself from the pack. Use puppets, ride in on a tiger, lay on the floor the whole show, blow bubbles, dump green J-ello over your head…anything to get your public speaking audience to say, “WOW!”
