How to Give an Awesome Keynote Address

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

A keynote is a powerful, short and very organized presentation. Its usually found at the beginning or end of a large event. Follow these  top tips to make your address count:
Tip #1  START & END STRONG (use a joke or story etc…)
Tip #2 CREATE KEY POINTS (items for the audience to remember)
Tip #3 PRACTICE!

A keynote is a powerful performance. Make it count by doing your homework, designing a solid delivery structure and practice out the bumps until its worthy of opening or closing an important event. Also, never underestimate the power of your own style.   We are most influential when we are authentic.  Also, it never hurts to eat well, exercise and feel good.

Dear Executive…

Monday, July 20th, 2009

If you are a leader of an organization you probably have proved good leadership ability. Skills such as successful decision-making, organization and the ability to execute your plans are essential as basics. All good stuff, really.  But what if the terrain is changing and you are asked to upgrade your already fabulous skill-set but are not sure where to put your focus? Below are the ABC’s of next generation leadership:

AAdaptability: It is essential to master adaptability. Here’s the thing…being able to change is not where the challenge lies.  The challenge is being able to constantly adjust to  different situations with poise, balance and a clear head.  Your success in being adaptable is actually a skill in managing your internal emotional landscape.

Tip: Have a personal development plan.

BFocus: We are in information overload!  Now more then ever it is important to decide your priorities and invest your energy wisely.

Tip: Create and stay committed to a planning system that supports your lifestyle and all of its facets.

C – Have fun: Yes, this is a leadership skill.  If you can inject fun into the work world you have mastered the above steps and will attract and retain top talent.

Tip: Check out Be the Leader You Would Want article in new e-book Do Your Own Thing; Little Business, Big Advice.
