> In Pictures: Confessions Of A Public Speaker
> <http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zmii0h917alf2t33qo1ldba6uam7rgluuoipocgg>--"Even
> when I'm on my game and things are going well, some people will always
> be doing something other than listening," Scott Berkun observes in his
> soon to be published book from O'Reilly, Confessions of a Public
> Speaker
> <http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zk5dnd15s9su6boa9a2if8r8u22p2vvcadrdjki0>.
> In a slideshow posted recently on Forbes.com, Berkun offers advice and
> a behind the scenes look at the life of a public speaker. For example,
> Berkun advises, "Sit in the cheap seats before your talk to remind
> yourself of how much energy you need to project so that you don't look
> like a zombie on stage." See what public speakers do, according to
> Berkun.
