787 - Keep your audience focused: Tom talks Attention Gaining Devices

<p>Today, we're going to talk about attention gaining devices. What the heck does that mean, Tom? Well, I did the intro to bomb proofing for your presentations and speeches when you have to do them to make sure that everything goes good. So I got such good feedback on that. I said, okay, well, maybe I'll do this week on presentation skills and and things. I'm not trying to make you professional speakers unless you want to be, but any time you have to do this or you need to do this, you want to make the best of it as you possibly can. So today we're going to talk about attention gaining devices. This is the whole basis of my Wake 'em Up speaking system.</p> <p><strong>Screw The Commute Podcast Show Notes Episode 787</strong></p> <p><strong>How To Automate Your Business</strong> - <a href= "https://screwthecommute.com/automatefree/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://screwthecommute.com/automatefree/</a></p> <p><a href="https://IMTCVA.org" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><img class="alignnone" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/123691/imtc_logo.png" alt= "entrepreneurship distance learning school, home based business, lifestyle business" width="402" height="136" /></a></p> <p><strong>Internet Marketing Training Center</strong> - <a href= "https://imtcva.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://imtcva.org/</a></p> <p><strong>Higher Education Webinar</strong> – <a href= "https://screwthecommute.com/webinars" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://screwthecommute.com/webinars</a></p> <p><strong>See Tom's Stuff</strong> – <a href= "https://linktr.ee/antionandassociates" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://linktr.ee/antionandassociates</a></p> <p>00:23 Tom's introduction to Attention Gaining Devices</p> <p>02:18 BOMB PROOFING: Theory of Relevance</p> <p>03:07 Using humor with signs</p> <p>03:57 Holding up "props"</p> <p>06:26 Performing stories</p> <p>07:30 Voice inflection</p> <p>08:17 Stage movement</p> <p>09:15 Asking questions of the audience</p> <p>09:58 Showing visuals</p> <p>10:32 Playing
