 Here are some of the other questions that I answered on the 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 do you develop your past experience into learning lessons that you can apply to your talks?
• 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?
• How does a speaker create learning lessons from their past experience (can you give specific steps or a model)
• What are your biggest tips to mastering your talk besides practicing everyday?
• How long should your bio & pitch sections of your talk be for an average 45 minute talk?
• What are some highly effective habits that you and other very successful speakers have, that you notice less successful speakers lack?
