CHAMPION STRATEGIES – PUBLIC SPEAKING WORKSHOP – DECEMBER 21, 2020

CHAMPION STRATEGIES – PUBLIC SPEAKING WORKSHOP – DECEMBER 21, 2020 Should You Eat Before Giving a Presentation? The question of whether you should eat before speaking is very individual. Some people want to eat – others don’t. By the way, you are not alone in this dilemma. Most professional athletes, stage actors, and musicians do not eat a large meal before performing. There have certainly been times in the past when I’ve been teaching a private session on an empty stomach and my stomach started to growl. In a situation like this, it is a good idea to have some type of snack food available like a granola bar or some fruit that you can nibble on; however, when it comes to the speech or…

CHAMPION STRATEGIES – PUBLIC SPEAKING WORKSHOP – DECEMBER 20, 2020

CHAMPION STRATEGIES – PUBLIC SPEAKING WORKSHOP – DECEMBER 20, 2020 I’ve often noted that a celebrity speaker can be mediocre and yet the audience can report that it had a good time. The reason is that the celebrity has already been ‘introduced’ to the audience — the audience knows the celebrity by advance reputation. The work of a good introduction is to raise the speaker to celebrity status for the purposes of that occasion. Always end with an applause line for the speaker — “so please join me in welcoming Jane Doe!” — to allow her time to get up on the stage and ready to go. And it’s a very good idea to shake the speaker’s hand as he or she goes by on…

A good introduction is essential to get a speaker off to a good start. The tendency for event hosts to go casual and say a few non-substantive words — or worse, to try to make a joke at the speaker’s expense — hurts both the speaker and the meeting. Here’s why, and how to give a good intro that will help the speaker — and the event — succeed. Audiences want several things from a speaker, and some of them right away. First, audiences begin by asking why — why should I pay attention? Why should I care? Why is this going to be important to me? If a speaker is successful, the audience will start asking how — how do I get started? How…

HARDISON’S TIPS – DECEMBER 16, 2020 – SHOULD RETAILERS START ACCEPTING CRYPTOCURRENCY

HARDISON’S TIPS – DECEMBER 16, 2020 – SHOULD RETAILERS START ACCEPTING CRYTOCURANNCY Overtaking commerce While Bitcoin may be gaining steam, it is unlikely that the payment system will overtake the leaders in the mobile payment space such as PayPal and Google Wallet. Retailers need not throw out an Isis terminal or stop accepting PayPal. However, Bitcoin does seem to be a valid alternative form of payment for many consumers, especially those who want to maintain anonymity. It would therefore make sense for retailers to get a better understanding of what its target consumers want to decide whether or not it is worthwhile to accept Bitcoin in addition to the major payment methods. “If Bitcoins continues to gain traction, I see it being adopted as a…

HARDISON’S TIPS – DECEMBER 15, 2020 – SHOULD RETAILERS START ACCEPTING CRYPTOCURRENCY

HARDISON’S TIPS – DECEMBER 15, 2020 – SHOULD RETAILERS START ACCEPTING CRYTOCURANNCY Mobile payments The mobile implication of Bitcoins plays out in two different ways. First, developers can accept bitcoins directly from a mobile site and app. They need only add four lines of code to collect a Bitcoin payment through the Bitcoin Payment Gateway API. This also provides an easy payment method for consumers who have Bitcoins. They can easily pay on a mobile device without having to type in all of their billing information. The second outlet for Bitcoins is mobile payments in-store. Retailers can accept Bitcoin payments by integrating a QR code scanner or NFC terminal into their POS. Consumers can then easily open their Bitcoin mobile wallet to pay in-store. Jordan…

CHAMPION STRATEGIES – PUBLIC SPEAKING WORKSHOP – DECEMBER 15, 2020 History of Public Speaking (PT.2) The Renaissance (1400-1600 CE) Powered by a new intellectual movement during this period, secular institutions and governments started to compete with the church for personal allegiances. Ideas surrounding issues of style in speaking situations received significant attention during the Renaissance period. Petrus Ramus (1515-1572) paid great attention to the idea of style by actually grouping style and delivery of the five canons together. Ramus also argued that invention and arrangement did not fit the canon and should be the focus of logic, not rhetoric. Ramus challenged much of what early scholars thought of truth, ethics, and morals as they applied to communication. Francis Bacon (1561-1626), a contemporary of Shakespeare, believed…

HARDISON’S TIPS – DECEMBER 14, 2020 – SHOULD RETAILERS START ACCEPTING CRYTOCURANNCY The growth of Bitcoins, which now has a Google Glass payments app, reflects how mobile is driving alternative payment solutions and challenging retailers to keep up with how payments are evolving. As Bitcoin becomes a more legitimate currency, retailers are considering whether to accept Bitcoin on a mobile site and application or via the Bitcoin mobile wallet in-store. “More merchants need to start accepting them,” Ed Barton, an analyst at Strategy Analytics, Newton, MA. “Currently a handful do, the most prominent being Baidu, Reddit and okcupid. “When Amazon and iTunes start accepting them, Bitcoins will have graduated to the mainstream but this is far from a given,” he said. “If you are a mobile app developer…

History of Public Speaking (PT.1) Our current knowledge and practice of public speaking draws upon ancient Greek, Roman, and Western thought. The Classical Period (500 BCE – 400 BCE) The ancient Greeks highly valued public political participation, where public speaking was a crucial tool. We will begin an overview of four Ancient Greek philosophers, also known as the “fantastic four”Aspasia of Miletus, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Aspasia of Miletus (469 BCE), the “mother of rhetoric,” is believed to have taught rhetoric to Socrates. During this period Pericles, the Athenian ruler and Aspasia’s partner, treated Aspasia as an equal and allowed her the opportunity to engage in dialogue with the important and educated men of society. Socrates (469-399 BCE) greatly influenced the direction of the Classical…
