Question Asked: “How do you develop your past experience into learning lessons that you can apply to your talks?”

Here are Other Questions I Answered on the Last Presentation Power Group Coaching Call:
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?
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?
How long should your bio & pitch sections of your talk be for an average 45 minute talk?
Do you put verbiage in your contracts stating that if the organization who hired you found your talk ’satisfactory’ that they will provide you with a couple of referrals and/or people whom you can contact?
What are your biggest tips to mastering your talk besides practicing everyday?
What are some highly effective habits that you and other very successful speakers have, that you notice less successful speakers lack?
If you have similar questions, this monthly coaching call is definitely for you. Only my Presentation Power Coaching Call Members get the opportunity to get their questions answered.
The next call is tomorrow, TUESDAY, June 15th at 9PM.

Want to know how to turn one talk into multiple bookings? in this video I talk about how to add new elements to your public speaking topics so your calendar is always full.
While in Washington DC, speaking for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, someone approached me after my talk and asked, “Mr. Sprinkles what other subjects or topics do you speak on?”
As I answered the question, I realized that there was a great speaking tip that I wanted to pass on to my readers and friends.
In this video, I share 1) how I select speech topics and 2) how I communicate those topics. Understanding this technique will make you stand out from other public speakers and position you as the expert in your field.
Again the unexpected happened on stage…and I guess this is the “beast” of the speaking business. So today I ask you what is your plan A, plan B, or plan C when things don’t go as planned during your presentation?
Also let me know what you think about my new sunglasses
When was the last time you walked into a speaking presentation and things did not go the way you planned? Have you ever showed up for a talk and realized you were in the wrong location, filled with empty chairs?
Just recently, something so awkard happen to me in a recent presentation. But……
… I kept my cool and made the adjustment. At the end of the day, the entire presenattion turned out really well.
As a professional speaker, how do you handle the UNEXPECTED when it arrives on the day of your big speaking gig? Listen to my story, and tell me how you can learn from it.
