If you're a Men's Health reader (heck, even if you're not), check out page 148 of the Jan/Feb 2007 issue (it actually says "February 2007" on the cover). My quote is under "Talk in front of a group without freaking out." Of course. :-)
I'm happy to say that the quote they chose from me underscores one of my key beliefs as a coach and a speaker: to engage your audience and make a connection with them, you must have a conversation with them. And I firmly believe that "um" and "uh" are a natural part of conversation and do not detract from a presentation, if not overused (as I mentioned in a previous post about Barack Obama).
So, big thanks to Men's Health for picking the quote that is perfectly aligned with my philosophy!
Lisa, that's tremendous.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll find a place for a scanned image of the quote on your website somewhere.
