How to Rock a Panel Discussion

March 8, 2019 by hotdogpr

four people sit on a panel of speakers

Tips on being an awesome panelist! 1. Have 3-5 pocket stories – the best way to seem like you’ve done this before is to tell us a story about how you actually did this thing with a real client.

Dumb and Duh

April 8, 2016 by hotdogpr

In a truth-facing moment, my speech coach told me this: “If you are saying ‘um’ and ‘uh’ often in your presentation, you might as well be saying ‘dumb’ and ‘duh’ because that’s what the audience hears.” Filler words.

Jumping with The Big Boys

April 2, 2016 by hotdogpr

Young girls sits with older brother and his friends at a backyard party.

I was enjoying watching the chaos on the trampoline. Three 9-year-old boys were hoisting a yoga ball up and slamming it into each other with raucous laughter. It looked like (risky) fun. Then my 3-year-old daughter wanted to join. I unzipped the protective netting, made the boys give up the ball, and put her in with the stern instruction to … [Read more...] about Jumping with The Big Boys
