			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every <a href="http://presentationpowerbootcamp.com/faststart.html" target="_blank">month</a> I allow my private coaching members to pick my brain and ask me questions about improving their presentation skills and what to do &#8216;behind the scenes&#8217; in their speaking business.</p>
<p>During last month&#8217;s <a href="http://presentationpowerbootcamp.com/faststart.html" target="_blank">Presentation Power Coaching Call</a>, I took 90 minutes answering various questions.</p>
<h2>My answer to one Speaker&#8217;s question.</h2>
<p>Question Asked &#8211;&gt; &#8220;<em><strong>How do you develop your past experience into learning lessons that you can apply to your talks?&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p>My Answer: &#8211;&gt; <strong><em>Listen to the Below Audi</em></strong><strong><em>o</em></strong></p>
<h2><strong>Here are some of the other questions that I answered on the call:</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>When doing a day-long event, is it okay if they are not always being entertained and smiling the whole time? I get exhausted trying to be high energy the whole time, can you advise?</li>
<li>How do you address one or two people who are a little too comfortable and decide to engage in a some side conversation during the presentation?</li>
<li>How do you develop your past experience into learning lessons that you can apply to your talks?</li>
<li>How long should your bio &amp; pitch sections of your talk be for an average 45 minute talk?</li>
<li>Do you put verbiage in your contracts stating that if the organization who hired you found your talk &#8216;satisfactory&#8217; that they will provide you with a couple of referrals and/or people whom you can contact?</li>
<li>How does a speaker create learning lessons from their past experience (can you give specific steps or a model)</li>
<li>What are your biggest tips to mastering your talk besides practicing everyday?</li>
<li>How long should your bio &amp; pitch sections of your talk be for an average 45 minute talk?</li>
<li>What are some highly effective habits that you and other very successful speakers have, that you notice less successful speakers lack?</li>
</ul>
<p>If you have similar questions, this <a title="Monthly Coaching Call" href="http://presentationpowerbootcamp.com/faststart.html" target="_blank">monthly coaching</a> call is definitely for you.</p>
