How to Become A Better Public Speaker

Public speaking is something that a lot of us really don’t like doing, but like with anything practice and following some good tips can make a real difference to the experience. Here’s some great advice in the slideshow below to help you get better and hopefully get to the point where you’re a seasoned pro.

First of all though, I’d personally say one way to do this would be ensure you have a great set of presentation slides to begin with. If PowerPoint isn’t one of your strengths, then outsourcing the design of your slides might be the way to go. Having a great set of creatively designed slides can help take the focus off you and help boost the overall professionalism of your public speaking session….no-one wants to sit and read long, boring lists of bullet points!

Pacific Rim Trailer

This trailer looks pretty cool, the idea of giant robots and ‘mechs’ is something I’ve been familiar since I was a kid watching the Transformers cartoon and then later playing the MechWarrior computer games, it should be good fun to see these huge Iron Man suits taking on Godzilla-style monsters.

I seem to remember Guillermo del Toro having to pass on ‘The Hobbit’ because of this and other films he wanted to make, so surely he must have some good films in the pipeline!

Star Wars Blu-Ray, Best 20 Technology Websites, Quora, Foursquare, Gowalla Social Networks Are Good or Bad?

Here are some of the cool web pages and online stuff that I’ve found whilst roaming around the Internet recently and decided to add them to my online Delicious bookmarks between 5th January 2011 and 13th January 2011:

- Star Wars Blu-Ray Boxset Release Date Officially Announced – The time is coming round again…to re-buy the Star Wars films, but this time round in full Blu-Ray HD goodness! As much as the prequels probably don’t make much sense, especially the Phantom Menace after I recently saw a video review of it, I’ll probably end up getting them all just to have the complete collection. Will you be buying both trilogies or just the originals?

- 20 Technology Websites that we love | Technology Blog – What to keep up to date with all the latest technology news on the Internet, but don’t know which sites might be best? Then just take a look at this great selection of technology websites that will mean you never miss any of the big technology news and reviews!
