For larger groups (25 or more),

it may be impractical to leave

the audio unmuted, so instruct

participants how to mute and

unmute their connections.

Use Your Assets Voice – The “Radio” Factor

TELEVISION+10

POUNDS

RADIO-10 to 20%

CLARITY

In radio, they teach announcers to really

emphasize or “punch” key words because

the audience doesn’t have visual cues to

help them understand, and because the

higher and lower ends of the audio may be

lost in the transmission. The telephone can

be even worse. So, what may feel like over-

emphasizing to you will actually sound

normal to the listeners.












George Thorn











Charlie Henderson

Consider leading

meetings or hosting

classes standing up.


Use Your Assets Voice – Don't let yours be the only one!

Yes, I had a quick

comment…Another advantage

of frequent breaks

for questions and

comments is that

other voices

break up the

monotony of a

single speaker.

Use Your Assets Visuals





Use Your Assets Omit items that serve only as visual “noise”

OMIT FROM

WEBINAR

SLIDES

Use Your Assets Visuals – when you must have text

Sometimes you will want to have a lot of text

on a slide. For example, when you want to

include a lengthy direct quote. In those

cases, stop and let the participants read the

slide for themselves. The silence will get their

attention (which is a good thing), and if you

read it to them, you'll only be a nuisance

because they're already trying to read it for

themselves.

difficult issue with opposing

positions represented, the

phone is too impersonal to

allow for constructive

dialogue.

Fear or Hope: Which Motivates More? (This group tried both.)The question inspiring this month's newsletter is one I hear with regularity during our workshops and webinars. My response, which I stand by even though it sounds like a dodge, is "It depends." Just a few weeks ago, however, I was compelled to rethink that answer when I received an end-of-year solicitation from Climate Resolve, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit.

Climate Resolve works to put a local face on climate change, and they are small (14 full-time staf f, annual budget of $1.7 million) but effective. They convinced the city of LA to update itsbuilding code so that all new or refurbished buildings will include "cool roofs,"and in 2019 they killed plans for a new 8-12 lane freeway that would havecreated even more sprawl in a region that already defines the term.

Jonathan Parfrey founded Climate Resolve in 2010 and serves as itsExecutive Director. Parfrey knows his way around the nonprofit world ingeneral and the environmental community in particular. He served as the LADirector of Physicians for Social Responsibility for 13 years, as acommissioner at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power for 5years, and he cofounded the statewide Alliance of Regional Collaborativesfor Climate Adaptation. When Jonathan and his team try something new, itgets my attention, so I called him last week to find out why they decided touse both fear and hope in their solicitation, and more importantly, if it worked.(Story continues here.)

Fake News is Not a Game (But Learning to Spot It Is)Did you hear that Attorney General William Barr just resigned? Also, the Houston Astros have been stripped of their last World Series title, and Taylor Swift just punched Kanye West in the mouth. If all three items strike you as suspicious, they should - that's fake news across the board - but if I hadtweeted these stories, they would have spread faster, further and deeper thanreal news.

Fake news isn't merely a nuisance. If we learned anything from the 2016presidential election, it's that fake news can threaten the very foundation of ourdemocracy. Social media experts estimate that roughly 47 million Twitteraccounts are bots entirely devoted to spreading false stories. And that numberdoesn't even begin to take into account the humans who are retweeting thisnonsense.

At this rate, it's foolish to believe that fact-checkers can keep up with thistsunami of dishonesty. So what do we do? Jon Roozenbeek says that if youcan't debunk it all, then "pre-bunk." And one way to successfully do that, he has discovered, is through a game.(Read full story.) Please note: Apple Mail users may need to scroll down manually.
