Lydia's Top Tips
Think about this:You may be an experienced speaker, but are you an interesting speaker?
One of our clients recently confided "I've been giving presentations for years, so it's not that I am lacking in confidence, but I am concerned that my audience is not connecting with me. I've been told that this is because I'm a little sure of myself and consequently appear a little bored with what I'm saying. How do I get back that initial interest, excitement and passion for my subject? How do I make sure that I'm an interesting speaker?"

A little English humour...
After a year of scientific research, the world's funniest joke has been revealed. The British Association for the Advancement of Science asked Internet users around the world to submit their favourite jokes and rate the funniness of other people's offerings. Here's the winner:
"Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other man pulls out his phone and calls emergency services. He shouts to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator in a calm, reassuring voice replies: "Take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The hunter picks up the phone again and says, "OK, now what?"
