In “Even a Geek Can Speak: Low-Tech Presentation Skills for Hi-Tech People,” author Joey Asher stresses working with the speaker’s personal assets. “Weaving yourself into a presentation is a wonderful way to help build relationships between yourself and your listeners,” he says. “When people know a little bit about you, they tend to like you more than they would otherwise.”
He also speaks about bringing your “A-Game” to the project or unlocking “Maximum You.” Practice is a key element of any A-Game. So is the mental image each of us has of our being at our social best, enjoying and participating in animated and interactive conversation with people we are comfortable with. That is but one example. He describes the effect this way: “The goal of presenting is to connect with the audience. The best way for you to connect is to bring out the part of your personality that has always been successful connecting with people.” To find your best presenting style, he says, find the Maximum You. “The best presenters,” he adds, “are those who are able to push through the barriers to be Maximum You when in front of a group.”

Author Asher also writes, “Good communication is like a pencil: It has to have a point.” Sharply put!

do ppl really say soco or is that just in those ads? if i ever hear anyone actually order a "soco" i'm going to tempted to pelt them with cherry pits.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 05:26 (twenty years ago)

people do really say it.

haha i actually passed a local sports bar yesterday and i noticed they're doing a "soco lime" promotion of their own. i don't know why the southern comfort people are pushing so hard to make this a real drink.

The BBC is poised to unveil its widest-reaching marketing push since the "Perfect Day" campaign nine years ago and announce a new slogan to the public - "This is what we do".

― haitch (haitch), Thursday, 23 March 2006 13:04 (twenty years ago)

wait, do ppl NOT say soco?

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 23 March 2006 13:55 (twenty years ago)

see upthread where i said "people do really say it."

have you seen the commercial though? it's like this mantra of different "clued in" people at a bar all ordering "soco lime," and it's supposed to make you want to order "soco lime" next time you're at a bar so you can be cool like those people (haha), or make you less confused/intimidated about how to order southern comfort, or something, cus this cheap peach whiskey that they serve at bachelorette parties for aging sorority girls is so hip and intimidating that you need this commercial to hold your hand through the ordering process.

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 23 March 2006 14:01 (twenty years ago)

you can advertise hard liquor on tv now?!

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 March 2006 14:15 (twenty years ago)

see also: that commercial where the young hunky bartender fills people's orders for tres-classy amaretto drinks ("disaronno on the rocks") and then the hot chick sucks on the ice cube of her tres-classy amaretto drink suggestively.

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 23 March 2006 14:16 (twenty years ago)

Okay yes but amaretto is delicious! Also see: every other product or service advertised to a grown-up (not to say "adult") market. :)

PS to JBR: did you like the Brooklyn book?

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 23 March 2006 14:20 (twenty years ago)

"soco" would NEVER fly down here. southern comfort is waaaaay too far gone, rep-wise, to be rehabilitated.

don't tell me this doesn't happen in teh US?! half of australia's advertising industry is based on selling alcohol!

i think only on cable. that thought occurred to me, too, and then i realized i've seen liquor commercials before, but never here, where we don't have cable.

― tehresa (tehresa), Thursday, 23 March 2006 14:50 (twenty years ago)

I'm perplexed by jaymc's confusion. Surely he's seen the bacardi ads? Or the "soco" ads? Or the disarrono...? Or the smirnoff??? They are on tv constantly! MAYBE only on cable cos I don't watch the regular channels often.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Thursday, 23 March 2006 15:23 (twenty years ago)

apparently you dudes have never been to the south, if you've never heard anyone say "soco."

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 23 March 2006 15:43 (twenty years ago)

EUUURGH THOSE BAILEYS ADS ARE REAL BAD OOHHH I'M GONNA DRIBBLE SOME "LIQUID" INTO THIS CHICK'S MOUTH (she was the love interest in that shitty canadian rave movie, btw) BUT NOOO THIS OTHER DICKWEED CATCHES IT IN HIS GLASS HAHA HE MUST BE A HOMOSEXUAL.

― geoff (gcannon), Thursday, 23 March 2006 15:46 (twenty years ago)

i'm pretty sure jaymc doesn't really watch tv

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 23 March 2006 16:58 (twenty years ago)

i have never heard anyone say "soco" (but where do i live? pretty far NORTH)

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 23 March 2006 16:59 (twenty years ago)

there's a washington mutual "wamu" commercial now too... i've heard "wamu" before, but never on tv.

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 23 March 2006 17:13 (twenty years ago)

I have heard people say "soco" but it makes me uncomfortable to say. A) because I don't want to put such a thing in my mouth B) because it sounds v. silly to me.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Thursday, 23 March 2006 17:16 (twenty years ago)

Now that you have your game face on, are you ready to GET R DONE?

Let's ROLL!
