Just More Noise - If He's An "Expert" He Must Be Good

Just More Noise - If He's An "Expert" He Must Be Good

Yesterday I went to a business lunch and listened to a so-called expert on New Media.

He said a few cliches, provided nothing of any real value, offered no added-value and was done.

I asked a few people what they thought and they thought he was great. Which was, to me, just more proof that if people listen to a so-called expert they assume it's great info. Even when it isn't.

I visited the web site of this expert after the speech - his web site has this on the otherwise blank home page:


Mmmmm. New Media expert or another clown making more noise?

Here's 2 Ways You Can Be A Better Speaker

1. Check out experts and critiques of what they're doing here.
2. Provide added value to the audience - here's an example of how I did this last year after doing a speech to an audience of home based business people on how they can use the Internet to help build their business (here's a bit of that speech here).

There's a whole lot of information there - from free reports to useful links.
Hope it is of some use.

The picture to the right is of me on the top of the steps of Rome's fabulous Monument of Vittorio Emanuele II - this is where Mussolini apparently gave his fiery war-time speeches from.

Whilst I don't want to give war-time speeches (!), it would be an incredible place to give a speech. One can dream!

Cheers
