I wrote a document for a client of mine many years ago about transition words. Transitions are the key to an excellent presentation. It’s what ties together the elements into a complete story.
I’m killing myself because I can’t find the file or the blog post. It got lost somehow. So I am trying to recreate the document.
I answered a Quora Question:
For the average person speaking at a normal pace, what is the typical number of words they can say in one minute?
I am a professional speaker and podcast host and I speak at approximately 145-160 words per minute (wpm), while many sources state that average American English speaker engaged in a friendly conversation speaks at a rate of approximately 110–150 wpm
Oh my gosh, I was stunned. What happened to Michael Bay? A very well respected communication professional, director Michael Bay, was thrown off when the teleprompter failed during a live presentation at CES 2014 in Las Vegas. He was there to promote a new television from Samsung and unbelievably he chose to leave the stage leaving behind the executive from Samsung alone on stage.
An episode of The Public Speaker that I wrote was posted to Ragen.com today. I was told it “did well” – I’m not quite sure what that means. This was one of those episodes that I wrote because I really was annoyed. I had just received an email from someone with a red emergency flag. Why do people do that?
Here’s a screen print.
It has been a very hectic last couple of weeks, but finally I got a chance to update this post. I am very exited with the launch of my new podcast Smart Talk: Inspiring Conversations with Exceptional People.
I will be a speaker on the topic of “Ladies, Start your Microphones: By Women Podcasters, For Women Podcasters” on Sunday, January 5 from 2.30pm to 3.15pm.
