If you’ve heard me speak or read any of my public speaking advice, you know the opening and close of a presentation is very important. The circular technique works well. This video of my speech to the American Cemetery Association demonstrates the circular technique. If you’re familiar with my brother Robert Fripp you know he’s equally as eloquent a speaker as he is a guitarist. Even if you’re not familiar with his work, you’ll enjoy his words. If you’re not aware of the talent of Ken Medema, enjoy his summation of my speech in song.

One of the benefits of membership in World Champion’s Edge the public speaking community founded by Darren LaCroix, 2001 Toastmasters International World Champion of Public Speaking…is the Edge Forum where the members ask questions of each other, and the faculty, I am the World Champion’s Plus One as I do not share their title!
One of our members wanted help with opening a speech on Simplicity. This is my answer. (He benefited from many others) The … means pause.
Patricia Fripp recommendation for opening for your Simplicity speech:
Walk out and smile…make eye contact…hold it for 10 seconds… move forward a few steps…hold it and smile…make eye contact for 5 seconds. Ask “Why is our world so complex? How do you think the quality of our existence would improve if we just added….more magical moments of…simplicity? In my opinion…it would be simplify marvelous.”
Darren La Croix and I are delivering a one day speaking school and two day coaching camp in Las Vegas October 1-3. Check in out.

Carol Channing, Rich Little, Steve Rossi. Conversation at its best!
What an afternoon! San Francisco’s Carol Channing, internationally acclaimed star of stage and screen, joins inimitable entertainer Rich Little, and hilarious stand-up comic and actor Steve Rossi.
Wow…what a show. They were all so happy to be together they were interviewing each other.
Robert Strong who is a star in his own right is the producer and it was a labor of love.
His parents flew in to support him and see the show. Great to see them so proud.
The audience was so enthusiastic and frequently lept to their feet. It was so amazing to see these brilliant mature stars with so much energy. Carol is almost 90 and Steve 80. Rich is most likely in his early 70s. Very inspiring.

Public Speaking: How to Bring Your Characters to Life
“How to Bring Your Characters to Life” in your public speaking and sales presentations.
You may be interested in my opening comments.
1. As a speaker we need to help the audience to see our characters.
We must learn to paint a picture of them…and give enough of their background for the listeners to understand why they may do what they in our stories or examples.
It may help to put a time frame on the story.
In my classic Larry Mariottini story,
I let the audience know…it was 10.45 am on a Tuesday in 1975.
When I introduce him as … “You might say he was NERD…long before I knew what
one was…or that I would want to grow up and be one.”
2. It is a good idea to not insult your protagonist or hero especially if you are speaking to an audience that is technical!
By letting the audience knows when your story happened it helps them SEE how he might look compared to now as a systems engineer.
Another example is my Nancy Albertson story about how her idea made Sprint $13 million dollars. When I asked Nancy her title she said “I’m just a secretary. I guess you’d call me a big gal with BIG ideas!”
3. If you interview people for stories they write them for you!
As you know a good portion of my business comes from sales presentation skills training.
When I coach my sales professionals to tell their happy client testimonials I recommend you always give your clients title, the CFO of Cisco would tell you…. Or the 18-year veteran of the Human Resources department.
4. This is helping to give their client characters a business “backstory.” With this much experience, it is logical that they would make better decisions. That makes the decision for the prospect easier.
5. We bring our characters to life through some of the verbs we use.
“Fred casually sauntered into the boss’s office” vs “Fred rushed breathless into the boss’s office.”
Please note I am taking a lesson from the brilliant Mark Brown who taught us in a recent EDGE lesson about the importance of adjectives and adverbs.
6. We bring our characters to life through their dialogue. What do they say…“I’m just a secretary. I guess you’d call me a big gal with BIG ideas!”
One of my examples from coaching an executive who sat his children down the day after Christmas and said, “You are very lucky children, you have generous parents and even more generous grandparents. Perhaps you would like to give one of your gift certificates back and we can send the money to children who do not have homes.” He told me “I was so proud of my little boy. He came back and said “Papa…how much do I give? I could give you all of my savings, all of my pocket money, and all of my gifts and there still would not be enough to make a difference.”
My CEO client Bernard said, “You never give it all. You just give enough that it hurts a little.”
Physical Preparation for Successful Public Speaking
Warm up and relax your body and face.
1. Stand on one leg and shake the other. (Hold onto a chair if you need to.) When you put your foot back on the ground, it’s going to feel lighter than the other one. Now, switch legs and shake. You want your energy to go through the floor and out of your head. This sounds quite cosmic; it isn’t. It’s a practical technique used by actors.
2. Shake your hands…fast. Hold them above your head, bending at the wrist and elbow and then bring your hands back down. This will make your hand movements more natural. Pretend to ‘conduct’ for a few moments.
