June Blog Carnival

June 20th, 2007

Welcome to the June 20, 2007 edition of carnival of public speaking!

I was very excited to see so many excellent links in our Blog Carnival queue today, but I want to remind anyone submitting that this Blog Carnival is dedicated to improving public speaking, listening, and leadership skills. It is not a business or political blog or carnival, and blog posts that don’t somehow relate to public speaking, listening, or leadership skills will not be accepted into the carnival.

John Kinde presents Observational Humor — A Case Study posted at Humor Power, saying, “Observational and Spontaneous Humor is almost unmatched in its ability to grab an audience and generate big laughs. Anytime you read observational humor from another event, you had to be there. Anytime you use observational humor, you are there! That’s why it’s so effective. It’s fresh and in the moment. The author is a 30 plus year Toastmaster, DTM, Accredited Speaker.”

Charles H. Green presents How Marketing Can Destroy Sales Trust posted at Trust Matters, saying, “Take a lesson from the bad example of Politicans, PR, and Big Pharma and don’t damage your message by gluing yourself to “talking points.”"

Jim presents 45 practical tips to effective speaking posted at Jim Logan, saying, “From tips on how to prepare yourself to be in front of the room, to how to stay focused when speaking, this ebook is an easy read with a lot to offer.”

That concludes this edition of the carnival of public speaking, hosted by Redwood Ramblers Toastmasters in Scotts Valley, California. We meet every Wednesday from 12 to 1 PM at the St. Philip Episcopal Church on Scotts Valley Drive. If you’re not in the area, why not find a Toastmasters club near you?
