Mike Carruthers:
Are you one of those people who has trouble mingling at parties - maybe because you’re just not good at small talk?

 

Jill Spiegel:
First of all there’s no such thing as small talk even when you start conversations with, “What a beautiful day.” Or a compliment like, “I love your tie.” You give people a psychological and emotional lift that makes them want to talk to you.

Interview with Terri Sjodin, author of the book Small Message, Big Impact: The Elevator Speech Effect

When you need to persuade someone or give a presentation you usually don’t get much time to do it so you need to be concise - which isn’t easy.

 

Terri Sjodin:
Winston Churchill is quoted as saying, “If you want me to speak for 2 minutes it’ll take me 3 weeks of preparation. If you want me to speak for 30 minutes it’ll take me a week to prepare. But if you want me to speak for an hour I’m ready right now.”

Your Personal Presence

December 12, 2011

 

Interview with Kristi Hedges, author of the book The Power of Presence: Unlock Your Potential to Influence and Engage Others

 

________________

 

Mike Carruthers:
Presence it’s a hard concept to define and yet…

 

Kristi Hedges:
We’re all experts at other people’s presence. We know when someone walks into the room we can almost feel what their presence is and what their command is of a room and the energy that they bring into the room. However if someone says to you, “What’s your presence?” you’re probably going to stumble a little bit in trying to describe it.
