Making a Bad Talk
stating goals or purpose.
End abruptly after your last point.
Keep your audience clueless about what you are doing
Attempt to cover far more material than is practical in the time allotted.
End the talk abruptly about halfway through your material.
Making a Good Talk
Give your talk a beginning, middle, and an end.
Summarize scope and goals, main concepts and conclusions
Summarize points you would like to see the audience go away with, and provide pointers to additional information.
Carefully scope what you can cover in the time allotted, allocating time for questions.
Decide how many concepts or points you can adequately get across in the allotted time (one concept every 5 minutes is a reasonable rule of thumb), and prioritize to the most important ones
Be really really speedy to make sure every detail is covered. View your talk as an opportunity to motivate the audience to learn more about the topic on their own (and provide them the pointers to do so), rather than attempting to teach them everything in the talk itself.
Target the talk to your knowledge, sophistication and interests, and ignore that of the audience.
Either bore the audience to death, or impress them with a snow job.
Don’t be concerned whether the audience comes away with new knowledge or renewed interest or enthusiasm about anything you have said. Know your audience, and what you are trying to achieve with this audience, and carefully adjust the content of your talk accordingly:
* How much do they already know about the subject?
* How much background do they have to understand the subject?
* From their perspective, what are they likely to find interesting and exciting?
* How much diversity is there in the audience? Can you provide something of value for both the well-informed and the clueless?
Bombard your audience with lots of text on viewgraphs, so as to force them to choose between listening to you or reading.
Don’t waste your time on pictures and figures.
The written word and the spoken word clash, so rely primarily on the spoken word (this is a talk, after all)
The spoken word, images and pictures reinforce each other, so present a visual representation of your concepts to work your words around.
Three good marketing misconceptions in Democracy Now are the way in which marketing is now dealt with. Previously marketing information according to Noam chomsky was given from the Top down. The Top being the country with all the riches. These days it’s still very similar and the messages are just same, but as we shall see in the video below the message is delivered to a new global audience or are willing and able to digest the same old news, in this case a speech from 1983.
The second stage of marketing misconceptions is hidden in the post below, unfortunately you will have to follow the link to another page however you can come back and take a more sequential indepth look at the video’s available from John Pilger.

Stage 3 of these Obama marketing misconceptions are deepened in the next post, you can go to the next post by following the link below.
Obama Marketing Misconceptions.
Footnote:
The final video highlights the soup sewer system in modern cities. This has been highlighted by Democracy Now as a reason for dumping of maneure from farms. The farms have so many cattle that produce so much waste that the amount of waste is no longer just helping the soil. It’s now contributing to the slight poisining of drinking water, in many states and other countries across the world. The reason for this type of large manuere is partly due to the cattle’s high protein diets and the special pellets that help cattle gain weight more quickly. Could this also be contributing to those who consume the meat become over weight too?
This video introduces Mr Pilger’s work and why he chose this type of research.
Democracy Now! - John Pilger on Empire 2 of 5
This second clip includes an excert from John’s documentary Stealing a nation.
Democracy Now! - John Pilger on Empire 3 of 5
John Pilger is questioned about Islanders in the Empire and how Tony Blaire had to deal with this type of situation within the British Empire that was part of the Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez questions.
Democracy Now! - John Pilger on Empire 4 of 5
Vociferous groups that support Israel have been intimidating British Intelligence. ‘Freedom Next Time’ and the ‘War on Democracy’ is highlighted in this clip to demonstrate this point. Both shows again were produced by John Pilger. The clip of ‘War on Democracy’ uses the Hugo Chavez example to show how cu’s in countries can intervene in Polatics.
Blip TV has created over an hour of the recent speech from the Dalia Lama at a University in America about War Peace and continuation. There is another video fro questions and answers however this video is very good becuase the Dali Lama delivers his speech in English to thousands of Students. Here’s the link if the video above does not work try the link, hopefully it workd here on WordPress.com. You can follow me on Twitter by going to
