My heart goes out to Michael Bay.
If you haven't seen or heard about his meltdown when he was giving a speech at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, check it out:

I was interviewed for Quartz Magazine for an article on the subject...check it out HERE
Public speaking isn't easy. And Michael Bay is a behind-the-scenes kind of guy, a director, so he was counting on that teleprompter. As can happen, technology failed and he didn't know what the hell to do. So he walked off the stage.
It can happen to anyone. It's not that it happens that's the problem, it's not knowing what to do about it.
One of the topics I cover in my Speakers Schools is how to handle a situation like that; what to do if you forget what you were going to say, how to ad-lib, how to get the audience on your side, how to overcome your nerves...all the things that happen to us when we least expect it.
So, to Michael Bay, and anyone else who needs some help,
Sorry, the February school is sold out but there's still time to register for the next school in April.
You'll have to hurry, though...there are only TWO SPOTS AVAILABLE.
| NOTE: If the April school fills up and we have enough interest we will add another Speakers School on July 24-26, 2014 (in addition to the three per year we already have), so please send us an email if you're interested.samantha@mikkiwilliams.com or mikki@mikkiwilliams.com. |
